Definitely, the news around the Call of Duty license is dense, and that is good for morale. Forget the sad Call of Duty: Vanguard sales figures, and let’s focus now on the future of the license! In any case, this is what seems to want Activision and Infinity Ward through the next title.
An imminent announcement of Modern Warfare 2?
As part of the last balance sheet, Activision confided in a few statements on what the next Call of Duty title will be. If the studio announced that this was the sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare released in 2019, its identity is no longer really a secret, and we can say that it is indeed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Moreover, Infinity Ward, which is officially leading the development of the title, changed its banner and its Twitter profile photo on April 22, to reveal very, very dark images. If it didn’t take long for the community to discover that it was the Ghost character behind them, these changes to banners and images may also portend another good news: the imminent announcement of the title.
As a reminder, Vanguard’s announcement took place last August, which is quite rare for a Call of Duty title. This time, it seems that the studio wants to formalize the next title faster than expected, and we can expect an announcement during the month of May.
This would fit perfectly with the rumors corroborated by our leakers and inveterate journalists: Ralphs Valve and Tom Henderson. On Twitter, RalphsValve had actually published a tweet last February in which we could see “118 days until the official reveal of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II“with an image on which was inscribed”16 weeks“According to our calculations, this brought us to the date of May 30th.
As for Tom Henserdon, he said that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 should be released in October 2022, much earlier than its predecessors. Case to follow!
