Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 will release for PS5 and PS4 on 28th October 2022, it's been confirmed. This year's entry comes from Infinity Ward, with the announcement made via a Twitter video containing a literal ship with the key art on top. There's no footage of the game just yet, but the clip embedded below seems to hint at a second reveal taking place on 8th June 2022.
Characters Gaz, Soap, Alejandro, and Captain Price have been announced for the game so far. The official key artwork has also been released for the FPS follow-up, which you can catch below.
The Call of Duty blog reads: "Task Force 141 makes its massive impact and presence known across the Port of Long Beach, thanks to a colossal reveal on an unprecedented scale. A global squad of iconic veterans and new legends of yet untold clandestine missions, these Operators are set to deliver a new era of Call of Duty when Modern Warfare II releases on October 28, 2022."

Art looks nice
@anoyonmus best cover theyve done in a while. Last COD i bought was Modern Warfare so il probably be picking this up
Looking forward to this. Got a refund for vanguard, so have just been playing modern warfare and Cold War. Great that it's going to be 2 years until the next one. Think the yearly release doesn't help the games.
For the people that play these, how was the new MW campaign? I read that it was really nice and I only play CoD for the campaigns so I'm unsure if I should dish out the cash to try it.
Cool artwork!
@Athrum It was better than most, even if there’s some incredibly dodgy stuff going on with attributing war crimes to the wrong side.
@Athrum The MW campaign is great and worth your time compared to other cod campaigns in a long time
@Athrum It was good. That being said, if you only want to play the single player part, I’d wait for sale.
Edit: wait, you probably meant dishing out for the 2019 game, which is probably already on sale - my brain doesn’t work today.
Maybe they'll put the single player campaign on the disc this time.
I was interested in trying MW2019 but discovered the disc doesn't even have the campaign on it and you're forced to connect online to download over 100GB of mostly Warzone data to even give you access to the single player campaign. This is what actual unchecked anti-consumer behaviour looks like.
@nessisonett @Nepp67 @Voltan
Thank you for the replies. And yes I meant the 2019 MW
I thought they were skipping this year?
Genuinely excited for the prospect of all the old maps. I don’t need any new ones, just give me remasters of all the 2009 MW2 maps
Been there done that
@Zenne96 According to a leak, they will be no new retail COD game in 2023.
However Warzone II will likely release next year.
Side note: I personally really hope it's spelled with a Roman numeral two so it will match MWII.
@Athrum I had blast in found the non American side of the campaing even more fun then. Lets hope they do something like that with MW2
@truerbluer Thats the thing i hate most why even put the multiplayer on the disc you need to update it the second you go online anyway.
Enjoyed the last one on bit SP and MP until Warzone took over. Hope they've learned their lessons and not eventually require multiple TB patches to add fluff to Warzone.
MW was fun I'll be keeping an eye on this hoping for the same. Sick of ww2 & cold war weapons they look ugly.
@nessisonett
Yeah I feel like IW wanted to do a more… how do I say this… “controversial” Call of Duty and then got cold feet at the end.
I think they should have portrayed the three major powers of that campaign (US/UK alliance, Russian Federation, and Off Brand Random Jihadist organization A) in a more accurate light in the famous country of Not-Syria and Not-Iraq on the borders of Not-Afghanistan.
They based a number of “incidents” on actual real life events from the wars it composited together from for its campaign, but the actors portrayed for those sequences were all wrong. And they threw 90% of the war crimes in the game on the Russian faction. Which to be fair, isn’t exactly inaccurate when it comes to how Russian military forces operate in war zones.
But speaking as a well read American, I can tell you that our hands weren’t exactly clean in all the nonsense either. We did some stuff we aren’t proud of during those wars in Not-Iraq/Not-Afghanistan and then Not-Syria.
PS: I just remembered the most notable one. They show the water boarding of merely “accused” middle eastern “terrorists” and it’s the Russians doing it. Granted the Russians would no doubt do that, but in that particular scene it should be a CIA black ops team doing the waterboarding. It’s one of those distasteful things we (as in the United States) did during the war in Not-Afghanistan and Not-Iraq.
They could have at least had the genitals to get that right.
@The_Moose
Considering Warzone II is supposed to be it’s own thing (not relying on the underlying application of MW anymore) now, I think the file size should be a little more manageable this time.
@The_Moose that's why I'm not buying it for atleast 6 months after launch not getting ripped off again
@Athrum Short (norm for COD campaigns) but sweet. Better than most COD campaigns and the house mission is a highlight
@Danloaded it ain’t black ops 1 cover though
@nomither6 that's a good cover but im a sucker for a good skull design
I may end up playing this eventually, will need to try out the 2019 game first.
