Summary
Despite rumblings at the start of the year that 2023 would be the first break in a nearly two-decade-long tradition,Call of Dutyis definitely getting a new entry this year, and it seems as though all the recent leaks are true. Over the last few months, renownedCall of Dutyleakers have taken to the internet to spread a plethora of rumors, all pointing to 2023’sCall of DutybeingCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, a direct continuation of last year’sModern Warfare 2. And with bothSledgehammer Games—the studio allegedly working on the sequel—and Activision posting tongue-in-cheek teases, it does seem as though this year’s entry will in fact beCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, and a reveal might be right around the corner.
The most recent, and probably the most damning leak forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3came just a week ago when a can of Monster energy drink supposedly brandishing the newModern Warfare 3logo was spotted in the wild. Not really being able to hide from it any longer, Activision posted an image on social media poking fun at the leak and captioned it with “We’ll share even more next week”, seemingly suggesting that there will be some form ofModern Warfare 3reveal in the coming days. And while Activision could always play a wildcard, there are a few things that fans can expect to see duringthe imminentCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3reveal.

What Fans Can Expect From the Upcoming Modern Warfare 3 Reveal
Back in August 2021,Call of Dutyfans flocked toCall of Duty: Warzoneto see a teaser for the upcoming mainline release in the franchise. During an in-game event, players saw a brief 1-minute trailer that showcased someWW2-era environmentsand confirmed the game’s title asCall of Duty: Vanguard, before announcing that a full reveal would be coming just a few days later.Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2followed a similar marketing strategy, with Activision and Infinity Ward dropping a minute-long teaser trailer at the start of June 2022, and announcing that a full reveal was coming a few days later.
For 2023’sCall of Dutyentry, presumably the long-rumoredCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, this teaser is probably going to take place inside ofCall of Duty: Warzoneonce more, just like it did withVanguardback in 2021. Withthe latest Season 5 update forMW2andWarzone, Activision teased that a limited-time event would be taking place soon that would reveal the nextCall of Duty, and it seems like that time has come already.
At some point in the coming week, fans can expect to see some sort of announcement from Activision or Sledgehammer that confirms the date and time of aModern Warfare 3reveal insideWarzone. And when it’s finally time, this reveal event will likely show a teaser trailer for the game, probably coming in at around one minute, just like the last fewCall of Dutyentries. This trailer will probably act as a brisk rundown of all the game’s core modes, including an extremely brief look atModern Warfare 3’s campaign mode, its multiplayer component, and potentially even its rumored zombies mode.
The one-minuteModern Warfare 3teaser will probably try to pack a lot in, giving fans plenty to dissect after the event. And finally, at the end of the teaser, fans can probably expect to see the official title of the game, along with confirmation of its developer, and potentially a date for an upcoming full reveal of the game. If fans are extra lucky, this teaser might even end with a confirmed release date for the game, though Sledgehammer might save this for the full reveal ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is reportedly in development.
