Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2: Expected release date, platforms, Easter eggs and more

Infinity Ward has already started selling its upcoming Call of Duty title, claiming it will mark a "new era" for the franchise. 

The title will be released later this year and will follow the success of 2019's game, Modern Warfare.

The logo for the new iteration has been unveiled by the studio and reads 'Modern Warfare 2'. Contains Easter eggs that signal Task Force 141 when animation is slowed. Like all other games in the series, it will be available on all major platforms: PC, PlayStation and Xbox.

A "new era" in Call of Duty comes with Modern Warfare 2

With the release of the latest teaser for the upcoming COD title, the developers are getting players excited as they aim to usher in a "new era" for the franchise. As of now, very limited information is available on the title, but the roadmap can be set with all the details that have been made public so far.

The logo's animation shows "M", "W" and "II" together, while the added hashtag title reads as Modern Warfare 2. animation speed decreases.

In 2019's Modern Warfare, Captain Price created his iconic task force from the original series. As a result, it is rumored that all the familiar characters will be added to the upcoming sequel. This makes sense when you consider the success of the previous title.

However, the story of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has not yet been revealed by the studio. While more will be known as the release date nears, additional information from Tom Henderson suggests that the sequel's campaign may follow US soldiers heading to war against Colombian drug cartels.

These rumors are viewed with suspicion, but one thing that has been confirmed is the inclusion of Task Force 141 in the teaser video.

Similar to Escape from Tarkov, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will also feature a new game mode that is said to be a mix of Battle Royale and survival elements. The multiplayer mode will also include the return of some old maps such as Favela, Terminal, Highrise, Shipment and Quarry.

When and for which platforms will Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 be released?

The upcoming Modern Warfare sequel's release date will likely be in the fall of 2022. The exact date is not yet known. But looking at the history of the series, it can be assumed that the game could be released in October or November.

Past COD games were also released around the same time, and the franchise will look forward to maintaining this consistency unless unforeseen circumstances cause the game to lag.

Modern Warfare 2 will come to PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC. However, this may be the last year to see both current and past generation consoles included in the Call of Duty game.
