Fresh from Gamescom, we have new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III intel to share today, including “Operation 627,” the first Campaign mission that introduces the next chapter of the Modern Warfare universe, plus timing for Call of Duty: Next and Multiplayer Open Beta weekends.
Campaign Premiere Trailer:
Operation 627 takes players to an area that they know all too well – Verdansk, seen from a new perspective. This time, however, it’s 2023 and Verdansk is facing an all-new threat. Check out the Campaign mission walkthrough video here.
Additionally, Call of Duty: Next returns on October 5, 2023, which will showcase Modern Warfare III Multiplayer, give players a look at what’s coming for Call of Duty: Warzone, and provide updates for Call of Duty’s mobile experiences.
