This upcoming instalment marks the third entry in the rebooted Modern Warfare series, which was kickstarted in 2019. To further fuel the excitement, a recent trailer has tantalized fans with a return to the iconic setting of Verdansk in its single-player campaign.
However, it’s not just the return to Verdansk that has fans talking. Behind the scenes, “Modern Warfare III” boasts of a massive development team. With Sledgehammer Games at the helm, they’re joined by a slew of top-tier studios such as Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Beenox, Raven, High Moon, and Demonware. This ensemble of developers has sparked some concerns and speculations among fans, wondering if too many cooks might spoil the proverbial broth.
Historically, the Call of Duty franchise bundled the single-player, traditional multiplayer, and Zombies modes into one purchase. With the battle royale mode, Warzone, being introduced as free-to-play, there’s growing speculation around the pricing model for the Zombies mode. Could “Modern Warfare III” see Zombies emerging as a standalone free-to-play entity? Echoes from the community, particularly on platforms like Reddit, and hints from Insider Gaming’s recent articles, seem to believe so. However, it’s crucial to note that Activision has yet to confirm or tease any such development.
As the rumour mills churn, one thing remains certain: the Call of Duty franchise remains resilient in its popularity. And as the calendar inches closer to the game’s release on PC, PlayStation, and Xbox on 10th November 2023, fans worldwide are gearing up to answer the call once more.
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the release date and join the global community in the fervent anticipation of what promises to be another blockbuster in the Call of Duty series.
