Is it actually that point of the 12 months once more already? It looks like Name of Obligation: Trendy Warfare 2 simply launched, however we suppose Activision’s acquired to return to the properly, as we doubt Crash Crew Rumble’s going to prime up its financial institution steadiness alone this 12 months. So right here we’re, then, a report from dependable rumourmonger Tom Henderson: Sledgehammer Video games is making Name of Obligation: Trendy Warfare 3. Sure, you learn that appropriately: Trendy Warfare 3.
For the longest time it was rumoured that the profitable franchise can be taking a 12 months off and would offer “premium DLC” for Trendy Warfare 2 in 2023. However Henderson claims, whereas these studies had been correct at one cut-off date, plans have since modified. He writes: “This 12 months’s title is a fully-fledged sequel to Trendy Warfare 2. Trendy Warfare 3 will characteristic a marketing campaign, multiplayer, zombies, and a brand new Warzone 2.0 map in the course of the title’s first season.” What might probably go incorrect?
Apparently, the aforementioned Warzone 2.0 map will probably be impressed by Las Almas, which was beforehand found as an Easter egg inside Trendy Warfare 2’s marketing campaign. In the meantime, the zombies mode is presently named Outbreak 2.0, and might nonetheless probably launch individually as a free-to-play obtain – Activision continues to be weighing up all of its alternatives, apparently. Both approach, the title’s allegedly due out on tenth November, with marketing campaign early entry unlocking per week earlier on 2nd November.
And by the way in which, Sony quite awkwardly nonetheless has advertising and marketing rights to the sequence, so it’ll have dibs on the sport’s first beta weekend in October, no matter whether or not Microsoft’s $69 billion acquisition is accomplished by then. (However that’s trying unlikely at this level, with any appeals to the CMA more likely to drag proceedings into 2024 and past.)
