Activision has finally released the gameplay trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. At first glance, it looks nothing short of incredible. From next-gen graphics and hyper-realistic digital assets to the general feel of the trailer, it seems to suggest that when the game releases, it’s going to be an absolute belter
The trailer focuses quite heavily on what we take to be the game’s campaign mode and gives us hints of the storyline that we’ll be following. One rumor that has been gaining traction is that at the core of the new game is a war on terrorism and drugs. The trailer seems to confirm and add even more color to this theory.
It looks like we’ll be fighting a brutal global war on drugs and terrorism that’s usually not far removed from those situations. Another big detail that the trailer reveals is that Bloodline and Ozark actor Glenn Morshower is returning to the franchise. He’ll be lending his likeness and voice to one of the main characters.
The campaign of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II follows the events of its predecessors, Modern Warfare, Ghost, and Price. We’ll see the story of Task Force 141 unfold with returning as well as new cast members.
If you’ve preordered Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II already or still intend to do so, you’ll be able to play the game a week earlier than everyone else. Preordered games will be playable from the 20th of October, 2022. The game will officially go live for the wider audience on the 28th of October, 2022. This is also not the only new Call of Duty title that Activision is releasing this year; we’ve also got Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 arriving in November.
As our resident fantasy author and gaming fanatic Shaun M Jooste says, one of the most exciting elements we’ve seen so far is the ability to engage in aquatic combat against vehicles and players.
