The Season 1 roadmap is also viewable below, and further details on all of the new content can be found on the Call of Duty blog.

Activision recently claimed that Modern Warfare 3 had seen record engagement levels during its launch window.

“Thank you for a historic launch,” it said. “Just two weeks in, MWIII has already set records with the highest engagement in the new Modern Warfare Trilogy!”

According to the publisher, the game has seen “more hours per player overall” than 2019’s Modern Warfare and last year’s Modern Warfare 2.

What’s probably more telling than the game’s engagement stats is what hasn’t been announced – sales figures and revenue generated.

While there isn’t much publicly available Modern Warfare 3 sales data yet, physical sales during its launch week in the UK were down 25% compared to its predecessor’s.
