Activision’s biggest franchise is already garnering hype as they return to the Modern Warfare series with the supposed date for their trailer, alpha test and possible release date being leaked!

Well, it’s the time of year again! the Call of Duty hype train arrives with many ready for a big improvement after the failures of the two previous titles, Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard. As many have fallen out of favour with the FPS genre Activision and Infinity Ward are hoping to turn their fortunes around with the sequel to the highly successful Modern Warfare (released in 2019).

On April 28th, Infinity Ward revealed to the world the logo for the upcoming title and had fans wanting more information.

They’re reports suggesting that some snippets and teasers of the game could be revealed as soon as the 2nd June, this has surprised many because fans thought they would expect to wait until Summer Game Fest 2022 which starts the following week (10th June) for all the information. Following the teasers a suspected official reveal trailer will arrive on the 8th June with huge details on the games campaign being revealed at the Summer Game Fest. Great news for fans as we are not that far away from news coming our way.

As we power through the summer of games being revealed and release dates being pushed back, game developers will need you to turn that console on and test their games out for them with public Alpha and Beta tests. The Call of Duty Franchise have always had tests to make sure their game is full functioning before release, rumours are that a possible Alpha test for Modern Warfare 2 could be dropping mid-August. For the last 5 years PlayStation have had a contract with Activision where the platform will get new and exclusive content before the competitors and that will continue up until 2023, so if you are on the PlayStation 5 you could get your hands on Modern Warfare 2 before anyone else. But for Xbox gamers don’t be down because you will also get your hands on the tests possibly weeks after Sony players and with Microsoft’s gigantic acquisition of Activision for $68 million, Call of Duty’s exclusivity contract will probably be on the Xbox platform after 2023.

The reported release date for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is October 2022.

No news if Infinity Ward will continue to release their games on the old generation consoles with Xbox One and PS4 players increasingly worried on the silence from Activision’s side of things. Lastly, the big blockbuster game mode Warzone that kept us all enthralled through the last couple of years could be getting a sequel following the games release. The latest rumour is that Warzone 2 could be releasing late 2022 or most likely early 2023.

The switch is a wonderful machine. Unlike both of the other major Console manufacturers, Nintendo has been able to offer a truly unique experience this generation with its handheld/Console hybrid system. It has already hosted some of this generation’s best experiences with titles like Breath of the Wild and Mario odyssey, and is the one Home console that I can actually see myself buying this gen as someone who primarily games on PC.

However, it’s not without its issues. Outside of the infamous joycon drift and nintendo’s subpar online service, the switch just isn’t that powerful. It is, ultimately, a handheld system and while it’s a damn powerful handheld, it is, again, a handheld and as such is subject to the same restrictions the formfactor has always featured, including lower power than dedicated home consoles.

This has made porting modern games, such as Activision’s Hugely successful Call of Duty Series… tough to say the least. Games like Doom Eternal were delayed and came out on switch months after their PC and Console release dates, and many other companies have simply decided not to put their games on switch and to instead port titles from the PS3 and Xbox 360 to the system.

In this vain, claims from a COD insider on twitter have recently suggested that an older Call of Duty title will soon be dropping on switch. This follows reports last month that activision will delay Call of Duty 2023, likely motivated by the technical issues with last years Call of Duty: Vanguard. In an attempt to still maintain a yearly release schedule, it is rumored activision may be looking to remaster some of the series older titles and release them on new Consoles.

Addressing the confusion, MWR is supposedly coming to Nintendo Switch, it’s first introductory into the Call of Duty franchise for the console.

Twitter user RalphsValve is behind this news, mentioning that Activision is looking at re-releasing Call of Duty 1 and 2, World at war, as well as a backwards compatible integration for COD 4: Modern Warfare remastered on the ninth gen consoles, with Modern Warfare Remastered also getting a port to the nintendo switch

RalphsValve has previously leaked many details surrounding 2023’s “Modern Warfare 2” which have been verified by credible Source Tom Henderson. If modern warfare does make its way to switch, it would be the first COD title on a Nintendo platform since 2013s “call of Duty Ghosts” released on the ill Fated Wii U.

After Microsoft acquired Activision earlier this year, Brad Smith (President of Microsoft) stated the company is interested in bringing Call of Duty to the Switch along with other titles owned by Activision.

Call of Duty: Vanguard reportedly had the worst Call of Duty launch in 14 years in the UK.

The release of Vanguard was met with a mixed reception. Some fans being excited for a Call of Duty release with others being skeptical on how rushed it seemed to be. With Vanguard seeming like an “uncalled for” release, it isn’t a surprise that the reviews were not positive; even with the game being fun.

For the game to reportedly have the worst launch in 14 years within the Call of Duty franchise says a lot. The last game to have near to as bad being Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, the game that kicked off the ‘Modern Warfare’ era.

According to gamesindustry.biz, the site published physical and digital sales data from GSD showing the difference in sales between Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard’s opening week sales, showing a decrease of 40% from last years’ release.

Comparing Call of Duty’s highest opening week sales, Call of Duty: Black Ops in 2010, Vanguard sold almost 200% fewer copies making the release look even more disappointing but in fact compared to other opening weeks in the UK this year, Call of Duty: Vanguard comes at second to FIFA 22 which in the large scheme of things isn’t that bad.

Call of Duty: Vanguard was released November 5^th with fans being excited over the new look with the game being based around World War II. Fans have wondered why the sales of Vanguard come so low compared to previous releases. We feel the buzz surrounding Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite also play a huge part with the games attracting many players. Another reason that highlights the decrease in sales, according to Activision’s most recent financial results for the three months ended September 30^th; Call of Duty’s overall monthly players have taken a decrease.

Activision look to keep on bringing out new content for its’ games, including new features and updates to Vanguard. So, Vanguard players, keep an eye out for future updates and news from Activision.

Call of Duty: Vanguard is out now on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and PC
