Activision reportedly confirms Modern Warfare 3 plans in DMCA strikes

Fresh evidence has emerged pointing to this year’s Call of Duty game being titled Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III” was reportedly referenced in DMCA strikes from publisher Activision received by Twitter users who have been sharing images of the unannounced game online in recent days, including @BobNetworkUK.

It’s thought the images may have originated from an internal test for the title, which is reportedly a continuation of last year’s Modern Warfare 2, developed by Sledgehammer Games.

In February, Bloomberg claimed Activision had originally planned to release a major Modern Warfare 2 expansion this year, but that the DLC had morphed into a full game.

Citing people familiar with the project, it claimed Activision’s goal for the new Call of Duty is to make a game that feels “like a standalone, full-price release and also an extension of Modern Warfare II”.

Maps and modes from Modern Warfare 2 will be carried over to the new title, the report added.

According to the latest apparent leaks, which were rounded up by Modern Warzone, the upcoming sequel will feature the return of the classic mini map and the Ninja perk, with perks categorised into different pieces of “gear” including gloves, helmets and boots.

Several NBA players took to social media earlier this month to claim that they had been shown a demo of 2023’s Call of Duty title.

Looking further ahead, it’s been claimed that 2024’s Call of Duty game will be a new Black Ops title set during the Gulf War and developed by Treyarch.

This weekend, Xbox said it had signed a “binding agreement” with Sony to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation following Microsoft‘s anticipated acquisition of Activision Blizzard.
