Unveiling the Epic Call of Duty 2023: Get Ready for Unparalleled Thrills!

Highlights

Call of Duty has confirmed the leaked logo and key art for the unconfirmed Modern Warfare 3, teasing a full reveal next week.

Captain Price, the franchise's iconic character, is showcased on the leaked cover art along with the redesigned Modern Warfare 3 logo, where the Roman numeral "3" is prominently displayed in red. The delayed unveiling of Modern Warfare 3 might be attributed to its initial conception as a modest expansion for Modern Warfare 2, which eventually evolved into a fully-developed release.

Call of Duty has officially acknowledged the leaked logo and key art for the unconfirmed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. They have also announced when fans can expect to learn more. It was previously believed that 2023 would be the first year without an annual Call of Duty release since 2004. However, a smaller expansion for last year's Modern Warfare 2 was planned to bridge the gap until Treyarch's 2024 title. This expansion ended up growing in size and ambition, ultimately becoming a full-fledged Call of Duty release.

The upcoming game, speculated to be Modern Warfare 3, is the logical progression of the Modern Warfare reboot trilogy that started in 2019. The leak of the game's logo and cover art on a Monster Energy drink package seems to confirm these speculations. The cover features Captain Price, a franchise icon, with an updated Modern Warfare 3 logo on his chest. The "Modern Warfare" text is reminiscent of the font used in 2019's Modern Warfare logo, and the Roman numeral "3" is in red, a first for the popular Call of Duty subseries.

Several days later, Call of Duty officially acknowledged the leaked cover of Modern Warfare 3 in a humorous manner on Twitter. They recreated the iconic red Captain Price cover art with a crudely drawn stick figure, complete with Price's recognizable boonie hat and a small pistol attached to one of its stick arms. The image features the text "Modern Warfare Redacted?" at the top, written in Comic Sans font.

In an important development, Call of Duty also mentioned in the tweet that they will be sharing more information next week. This suggests that a full reveal of Modern Warfare 3 is imminent. Typically, Call of Duty titles are announced earlier in the year, during the late Spring or early Summer period. However, the release of Black Ops Cold War in 2020 broke that tradition, with its reveal happening closer to the start of Fall. Vanguard followed a similar pattern the following year. However, the reveal of last year's Modern Warfare 2 returned to the Spring window. The decision to delay the reveal of Modern Warfare 3 until August might be due to its rumored origins as a expansion to Modern Warfare 2, but these are just speculations for now.

The reveal of the 2023 Call of Duty game is confirmed to occur in the current Season 5 of Warzone, following the precedent set by the previous title, Vanguard. In a teaser for Vanguard, a character named Polina Petrova was seen sniping players during a cutscene in the Warzone iteration of Black Ops Cold War. Fans interested in learning more about Modern Warfare 3 should pay attention to Warzone next week. Development is underway for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
