Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be a full release and direct sequel to Modern Warfare 2, debunking earlier rumors.
The content fragment concerning Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer unlocks carrying over to Modern Warfare 3, which is a first for the franchise, is raising questions about the scale of new content. There are rumors suggesting that the game might be released at a lower price than usual, but fans are advised to wait for official confirmation from Activision.
A new rumor suggests the possibility of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 being released at a reduced price. However, fans should remain skeptical as previous reputable sources suggested that the 2023 Call of Duty game would be an expansion for Modern Warfare 2 rather than a full release. Activision disputed these claims and recently confirmed that the 2023 Call of Duty game will indeed be a standalone release and a direct sequel to 2022's Modern Warfare 2.
Activision has begun to unveil details about Modern Warfare 3 in 2023. A teaser trailer has been released featuring the return of the antagonist Makarov, and a full reveal of the game is scheduled for August 17. Furthermore, Activision has confirmed that multiplayer content from Modern Warfare 2 will be carried over to Modern Warfare 3, which is a first for the franchise. However, this announcement raises questions regarding the amount of new content that will be introduced in Modern Warfare 3.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, despite being presented as a standalone game rather than an expansion as previously thought, may possibly have a lower price when it launches. Twitter user Evan Fox discovered that Modern Warfare 3 was listed at AUD $54.95 on Steam, which translates to roughly USD $36, about half the price of a brand-new Call of Duty game. It's important to note that this price could be a mistake or a temporary listing. Therefore, fans should not get their hopes up. It is most likely that Activision will still sell Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 at its full price. However, if the price is indeed accurate, it could indicate that Modern Warfare 3 originally started as an expansion and may have less content compared to other main series Call of Duty releases.
Another possibility is that this lower price will only apply to gamers who already own Modern Warfare 2. This would further support the theory that the upcoming 2023 Call of Duty game was initially intended as an expansion for Modern Warfare 2, resulting in potentially less content and justifying the lower price point. It is important to wait for official information from Activision to confirm these speculations.
More information regarding Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be unveiled on August 17, so fans of the franchise should hold off on their excitement about the possibility of this year's game being more affordable. It will be fascinating to see the extent of the August 17 reveal. There are numerous rumors surrounding this year's Call of Duty that require clarification, such as the potential resurgence of the Zombies mode. Hopefully, fans will receive their answers in a timely manner.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is set to launch on November 10 for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
