CoD Next: What to Expect

Scheduled for October 5, 2023, CoD Next is an event you can tune into live on the official YouTube and Twitch channels of Call of Duty. The developers will showcase the Modern Warfare 3 campaign and confirm the inclusion of the Open Combat mission. Given this, the event promises new unveilings that are sure to interest fans. In addition to Modern Warfare 3, the event will feature hands-on streaming demonstrations of Warzone and the soon-to-be-released Warzone Mobile.

Modern Warfare 3 Release and Open Beta Details

Modern Warfare 3 will officially launch on November 10, 2023. The news was formally announced by Activision on August 7, accompanied by a 42-second clip that revealed the official logo. The game continues the storyline of its predecessor and introduces new features like an open-world zombie mode and open combat scenarios.

Because Modern Warfare 3 shares its engine with Modern Warfare 2, it will be compatible with both current-gen and last-gen systems. This includes PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Battle.net and Steam. However, it remains uncertain if the game will be included in the Xbox Game Pass soon.

The Modern Warfare 3 Open Beta starts on October 6, 2023. It will be conducted in two stages. The first stage, known as “Weekend 1,” is exclusive to PlayStation users. The second stage will be open to players on all platforms. Note that the starting date may vary depending on your geographical location.

Early Access to Modern Warfare 3 Campaign

Activision has indicated that early access to the Modern Warfare 3 campaign will start on November 3, 2023. This is a full week before the game’s general release. Players can also gain early multiplayer access by participating in two test weekends scheduled for October.

New Warzone Integration with Modern Warfare 3

The integration of Warzone with Modern Warfare 3 is planned for December 5, 2023. Upon integration, all new weapons, Blueprints, and Operators from Modern Warfare 3’s multiplayer lineup should become available in Warzone. However, this comprehensive integration is not expected to take place until the launch of Season 1. Therefore, during the first few days or even a month of the Modern Warfare 3 cycle, only MW2 weapons and Operators will be accessible in Warzone.

Conclusion

The Call of Duty series is all set to bring in numerous updates and events, highlighted by the release of Modern Warfare 3. With CoD Next on October 5 and an open beta for MW3 starting a day later, October is shaping up to be a busy month for Call of Duty fans. Early access to the Modern Warfare 3 campaign begins on November 3, ahead of the general release on November 10. Finally, Warzone will integrate with Modern Warfare 3 on December 5, offering a refreshed gaming experience. Stay tuned for these exciting developments in the Call of Duty universe.
