Infinity Ward is leading the development on this year's Call of Duty game, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. After 2021's Call of Duty: Vanguard failed to reach Activision's sales targets, expectations are high for the sequel to the 2019 series reboot. Activision calls Modern Warfare 2 the start of a "new era" for Call of Duty, and we've already seen plenty of campaign footage and a full multiplayer reveal. Here we break down all the details we've learned, and highlight any remaining leaks and rumors still surrounding the game.

Modern Warfare 2 release date and platforms

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is scheduled to release on October 28 across PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The game is also confirmed to return to Steam, which is set at a $70 price tag.

A "new era" of Call of Duty

Some of Modern Warfare 2's marketing describes the game as a "new era" of Call of Duty. Activision and Infinity Ward gave us an early preview of Modern Warfare 2 back in June, where it was explained that the game was designed for "state-of-the-art" connected gameplay built on one unified engine. This redesigned engine will be shared with Treyarch, Sledgehammer Games, and other co-studios for future Call of Duty titles. Check out our full preview of Modern Warfare 2 to learn more about this new unified engine, and what this change means for future Call of Duty titles.
