Call of Duty Modern Warfare II: official info
It’s quite unusual for Activision to unveil the new installment of the series at such a slow time of the year, but the publisher has nevertheless taken the lead as leaks about the new Call of Duty have increased in recent months. .
Announcing Call of Duty Modern Warfare II so early not only reassures fans that an episode from a popular series is coming, but also reassures investors following the disappointing sales of Vanguard. Here is the official information shared today by Activision.
- The game is Call of Duty Modern Warfare II.
- This is indeed the direct sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare.
- The game is developed with a new game engine.
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare II will be tied to Warzone 2, not Warzone Pacific.

Rumors about the new Warzone have been swirling for several months now, but here is the first official information about Warzone 2.
- Warzone 2 will be available with Call of Duty Modern Warfare II.
- This new game was developed with a new engine too.
- The game is described as a “massive Battle Royale evolution with an all-new playfield”
- The developers have confirmed that FOV (field of view) adjustment is not possible on Warzone 1 on console. We imagine that it could be available in Warzone 2.
- A Sandbox mode has been mooted for Warzone, though details are yet to be discovered. It would most certainly be the DMZ mode described below.
What’s new in Modern Warfare II?
The name of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II began to spread in the wild as early as September 2021 as journalist and insider Tom Henderson tossed around the name of the next Call of Duty codenamed “Project Cortez”. Since then, several pieces of information have come out; we list here the rumors deemed reliable enough for us to talk about, but which have yet to be confirmed.
- Call of Duty Modern Warfare II’s single-player campaign should be more mature and “gritty” than previous installments.
- A moral system should be offered throughout the adventure and depending on the decisions made by the player.
- The logo of the game should resume the historical green color of this series.
- The Modern Warfare II campaign should take us to South America, to the heart of the drug trade and the conflicts that plague the cartels in these hostile regions, particularly in Colombia. This will be the return of Task Force 141.
- Actors Troy Baker and Roger Clark, known in particular for their work in The Last Of Us and Red Dead Redemption 2 respectively, would be in the cast of the next Call Of Duty.
- A mode inspired by Escape From Tarkov could be offered. It would include between 20 and 35 players and would initially be launched in beta. Its name could be DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) and would offer combat between players, but also against AIs. DMZ would work with a standalone progression like Battlefield’s Hazard Zone and elements of Battle Royale would be integrated, such as the loot of equipment on the map that it would be possible to sell to someone. The map for this mode would be smaller than the Caldera map from Warzone.
- An “Attackers vs Defenders” mode could also be proposed, the goal would be to reach or defend an area and objectives according to each round, all within a given time. As in Rainbow Six Siege, traps, cameras and other fortifications would be on the program.
- The interface of the new Call of Duty will be completely new. It should resemble that of a streaming platform, like a hub with access to the various Call of Duty games, but also to Warzone.
- The release of Warzone 2 should only be on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PS5 and PC.
- This new version would have been designed specifically for the latest generation consoles and the PC in order to have a prettier and fully optimized game for the latest machines available.
