• games

As the leaves turn amber and the chill in the air hints at the approach of fall, gaming enthusiasts around the world gear up for another thrilling installment from the Call of Duty franchise. This year's much-anticipated release is none other than "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III," developed by the acclaimed Sledgehammer Games.

A Reboot with a Throwback Twist?

Following weeks of industry whispers, Activision has silenced the rumor mill by confirming the game's title and release date. Scheduled for a November 10 drop, the latest offering will be available on PC, consoles, and there's potential for its debut on Nintendo Switch.

Fans eagerly waiting for a sneak peek will have to settle for the teaser video, as official details remain scarce. However, a significant revelation from the game's developers is the ability to transfer operators, weapons, and bundles from its predecessor, Modern Warfare II.

This feature hints that the latest title won't be revisiting the World War II timeline, much to the relief of many dedicated players. There was a moment of uncertainty earlier in the year when reports from 2022 hinted that Activision might be taking a different route.

The speculation was rife that instead of a fresh title, gamers might receive an expansive update for Modern Warfare II. This would have been accompanied by continuous updates for the popular Warzone, while the focus shifted to the next big release.

But, in a move that celebrates the franchise's tradition, Activision remained true to its yearly release schedule.

What's Next for Modern Warfare III?

In a report earlier this year, Bloomberg shed light on some intriguing insights.

While Modern Warfare III will inherit maps and modes from its 2022 predecessor, it will proudly stand as a standalone title. The gaming community remains on the edge of their seats, eager to see how Activision will execute this transition in the forthcoming weeks.

In related news, the gaming landscape may witness a paradigm shift. Microsoft is on the brink of finalizing its whopping $68.7 billion acquisition of Activision Blizzard. Post-acquisition, Modern Warfare III might just be the inaugural Call of Duty title to grace the Xbox Game Pass on the very day of its release.
