Activision plans to fully reveal Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer offering at today’s Call of Duty Next showcase, which kicks off at 9am PT / 12pm ET / 5pm BST.

The first of two Modern Warfare 3 multiplayer beta weekends will start tomorrow, and it will be available exclusively on PS4 and PS5.

The game will feature updated versions of all 16 launch maps from 2009’s Modern Warfare 2. Five of these (Favela, Skidrow, Rust, Estate and Highrise) will be included in the beta, along with new Ground War experiences.
