Call of Duty: The 'Modern Warfare III' multiplayer beta dates big reveal
I know we’re hardcore in summertime goals and the vacations are still going strong but forget all those warm, fuzzy feelings - it’s all about the countdown to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III from campaign details and Call of Duty Next to multiplayer beta dates - it’s all the nitty, gritty details you want.
PlayStation always gets first dibs - or at least for now - and it’s the same for when early October arrives.
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.
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.
The Modern Warfare III Multiplayer Open Beta then kicks off the following day, with a selection of Core maps from the modernized 16 originals in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009), as well as new experiences in Ground War.
