Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will be unveiled on June 8 with its first trailer, and this will be immediately followed by a “world premiere game level” on June 9, it has been confirmed. It looks like it will be the campaign specifically, with more revelations for multiplayer.
This footage will debut during this day’s Summer Game Fest Live event, which begins at 11:00 PT / 14:00 ET. However, it is not immediately clear when exactly the footage will be released during the broadcast. In any case, the whole showcase will be one to tune in, as many revelations are expected.
A teaser trailer for Modern Warfare 2 centered on Task Force 141, the main team for Modern Warfare in 2019. The group reunites in the sequel to defeat the enemies once again.
“The ultimate weapon is the team,” Activision said, referring to Task Force 141.
Modern Warfare 2 will be released on October 28 for PC and consoles. It is developed by Infinity Ward and is rumored to be focused, at least in part, on Colombian drug cartels. Leaks have suggested that a beta version is also being prepared, with PlayStation users coming in first.
In a blog post, Infinity Ward art director Joel Emslie said Modern Warfare 2 is one of the “most ambitious, beautiful, grandiose, face-to-face games Infinity Ward has ever created.” Emslie added that Modern Warfare 2 is “the major work of this studio and is the kind of game I’ve been waiting for to be a part of my entire career.”
Microsoft is in the process of buying Activision Blizzard, including the Call of Duty franchise and all its developers, but the series will continue to be released on PlayStation in the future. In a big change, Activision will not be releasing a new Call of Duty game in 2023.
