So it seems that every rumour that was going around last week is being proven accurate. These rumours supposed that the next instalment in the
Call of Duty franchise will oddly be titled
"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare," and that the game will be officially revealed on May 30th. Both of those points have come true.
It stands to reason that it will serve as a soft reboot of the series and be inspired by the 'No Russian' mission from
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as that information was revealed to us by the same insider who leaked the afformentioned title and reveal date.
Yesterday, Activision announced that
Call of Duty 2019 would be unveiled today. A livestream was scheduled to go live on the
Call of Duty YouTube channel at 10am PST (that's in just a couple of minutes). Since then, somebody made a bit of a slip-up (via
HotHardware).
The thumbnail of this livestream was briefly changed to promotional artwork for the upcoming game. This both confirmed its title, being
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and its release date - which appears to be the 18th October. While the scheduled livestream was quickly taken down, it's presumed that it will relaunch at 10am PST as was planned.
