Activision has officially taken the wraps of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

Alongside the release of the game’s debut trailer, which is viewable below, the publisher announced details on the Infinity Ward-developed sequel’s campaign, multiplayer, Spec Ops mode and Warzone 2.0.

The Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 release date is October 28, 2022, while Warzone 2.0 will arrive “later this year”.

Both titles will be available for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC via Battle.net and Steam.

Modern Warfare 2’s campaign promises a globe-trotting operation spanning missions in Europe, Asia and the Americas.

It will include “offshore sieges with underwater combat, all-out explosive assaults from 30,000 feet above enemy strongholds, and high-stakes, low-profile stealth missions in both plain sight and under the cover of darkness”.

Activision claims: “Modern Warfare II features a physically based material system allowing for state-of-the-art photogrammetry, a new hybrid tile-based streaming system, a new PBR decal rendering system, world volumetric lighting, 4K HDR, as well as a new GPU geometry pipeline. All of this is in service of a massive cinematic Campaign.

“The game also features a new advanced AI system. Enemies and friendlies alike across Campaign and Special Ops act tactically using combat and cover maneuvering techniques that would be second nature to a Tier 1 Operator.”
