Modern Warfare 3 to Be Revealed in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 5 Event

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be revealed via an event in Call of Duty: Warzone, Activision has said.


Activision has used its battle royale to reveal new Call of Duty games in the past, and it plans to use Warzone once again for the worldwide reveal of what the publisher is still calling Call of Duty 2023, despite acknowledging the leak of the Modern Warfare 3 logo.

“Drop into Call of Duty: Warzone to experience the worldwide reveal for Call of Duty 2023 in a limited-time event,” reads a note on the Call of Duty blog.

“Join the ranks of Shadow Company to take on Konni forces and secure the chemical weapon threat before it’s too late. Stay tuned to Call of Duty channels for more details about the upcoming reveal.”


That’s all we have for now, but players are speculating the reveal event will see players help Shadow Company capture missile silos across Al Mazrah, defend them from enemies, then exfil with a gas canister. Narratively, Graves, the antagonist of the Modern Warfare 2 campaign, is alive and kicking, and Farah and Alex have to work with the CEO of Shadow Company to fend off the Konni Group.

🚨 SPOILER WARNING! 🚨

One big question going into this reveal event is the fate of the Al Mazrah map. In April 2021, Activision nuked the then current day Verdansk, leaving players to battle in 1984 Verdansk. Will Activision replace Al Mazrah?

This is all part of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone Season 5, which kicks off August 2. It adds a number of new features and content, but the headline is the surprise addition of rappers Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dog, as well as Lara Croft from Tomb Raider on PlayStation platforms.
