Is Modern Warfare Being Released Again
So good luck to the sequel to the 2019 Modern Warfare then, but one thing it already has is a lot of buzz, and we're still waiting for most of the key details to be revealed.
So, when can we actually play the new MW2, and what else do you need to know about it? We've got the essential intel for you below, so read on to check it out.
When is the CoD 2022 Modern Warfare 2 release date?
We would predict that Infinity Ward's new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare sequel will launch inthe fourth quarter of 2022.
After all, in recent years, new CoD games have tended to drop somewhere between September and December. It's easy to see why the rumours are pointing to a similar launch window here.
Activision has not yet confirmed a release date for MW2, but the company has promised it will be with us in 2022. We'll add more info here when it becomes available.
When will the new Modern Warfare 2 be revealed?
On Twitter, fans have begun predicting that Modern Warfare 2 will be revealed with a full trailer in early June 2022. Given that June is a traditional month for big gaming announcements to arrive (even when E3 doesn't happen), that does sound plausible, but we'll await an official statement rather than getting too excited.
CoD 2022 Modern Warfare 2 story
CoD 2022 is a sequel to 2019's Modern Warfare, as Activision has confirmed, which gives us some degree of a clue as to where the story could be headed.
We would, obviously, expect the game to be set in the modern day (or something close to it), as opposed to the distant future or military history.
Modern Warfare 2019 also ended with John Price making it clear that he planned to form Task Force 141 with operatives Johnny 'Soap' MacTavish, Kyle 'Gaz' Garrick and Simon 'Ghost' Riley, along with the playable characters Alex, Farah and Nikolai.
This task force undertook a number of operations in the original Modern Warfare series (which was rebooted by the 2019 title), so it seems likely that we'll see them squadding up in the new game. Exactly who they'll be fighting, though, remains to be seen.

CoD 2022 Modern Warfare 2 gameplay
Of course, you can probably expect the 2022 CoD game to be a first-person shooter with a number of multiplayer modes. It hasn't been confirmed yet, but we'd also hope to see a single-player campaign included.
Not much has been said about the gameplay yet, but Activision has teased that this game will be powered by a new engine, which implies there could be some significant upgrades. As we hear more, we'll let you know.
How will CoD 2022 Modern Warfare 2 impact Warzone?
As Activision revealed on the Call of Duty blog, "The new game and a new Warzone experience are designed together from the ground-up", with Infinity Ward leading the development on both projects.
Fans have been told to expect "a massive evolution of Battle Royale with all-new playspace and a new sandbox mode." That sounds to us like a total overhaul to Warzone, the free-to-play shooter that originally spun out from 2019's Modern Warfare.
To us, this sounds like the current Warzone/Vanguard crossover will eventually end and pave the way for the new Warzone to launch, but that is strictly speculation for now.
What does this mean for CoD 2023?
While this Modern Warfare sequel seems to be on track to launch in 2022, it sounds like you could be waiting longer than usual for nextCall of Duty game after this one.
A report from Bloomberg recently claimed that a different CoD game, originally planned for 2023, has now been pushed back to 2024. Per Bloomberg's Jason Schreier, this decision was reportedly made "after a recent entry in the series failed to meet expectations".
This decision was apparently "not related" to the fact that Microsoft bought Activision recently, although many speculated when that deal was made that it could prompt the Call of Duty franchise to move away from its traditional yearly cadence of new releases.
Bloomberg's report also noted that, according to their sources, "Activision is working on other projects to fill the gap next year. A Call of Duty game set to come out this fall will receive a steady stream of additional content, and there will be a new, free-to-play online title next year."
To our ears, this makes it sound like the 2022 CoD game (the Modern Warfare sequel) could have a longer-than-usual shelf-life in order to fill the gap left by its successor's delay. It could receive a bumper roadmap of post-launch content, then, but only time will tell if all these reports and rumours are accurate.

CoD 2022 Modern Warfare 2 platforms
Will CoD 2022 be an Xbox exclusive, or will it also be available on PS4 and PS5? That question was raised by many when Microsoft, the makers of the Xbox consoles, announced their intent to acquire the CoD owners from Activision.
The answer could be this: CoD 2022 will launch on PlayStation consoles, as well as Xbox and PC, but other CoD games down the line may not release so widely. But we haven't heard that from an official source just yet.
Another report from Bloomberg states that the nextthreeCall of Duty games will launch on PlayStation, Xbox and PC, with Microsoft honouring a previous agreement between Sony and Activision.
This chimes with what all the parties involved have said publicly, but still, Activision made no mention of platforms when it announced the 2022 CoD game.
CoD 2022 Modern Warfare 2 pre-order
You cannot pre-order the 2022 CoD game just yet, with the new Modern Warfare sequel yet to appear at retailers such as Amazon, GAME and Currys. Until those product pages do start to appear, you could go back and play 2019's Modern Warfare if you haven't already.
CoD 2022 Modern Warfare 2 trailer
There's no trailer yet for the 2022 CoD game (unless you count the logo reveal we embedded earlier), but we'll be sure to update you when the first footage of the new Modern Warfare sequel does appear online. The latest rumblings point to June 8th for a trailer reveal, so not too long to wait hopefully.
