Activision announced Call of Duty Next 2023 for Modern Warfare 3 during Gamescom: Opening Night Live. Here is everything you need to know about the multiplayer reveal event.
Fans originally saw Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 at the first Call of Duty Next event. Unfortunately, community members left the reveal with more questions than answers. Former Call of Duty League pro Matthew ‘FormaL’ Piper didn’t hold back and claimed the battle royale sequel looked “horrible.”
And players expressed concerns about the 2v2 Gulag announcement. Then, in the aftermath of the event, TimTheTatman claimed he spoke to the devs at COD NEXT, and they ignored his advice to remove AI enemies from the game.
Hopefully, players walk away with a better first impression of Modern Warfare 3’s NEXT event. So without further ado, let’s jump right into what’s in store.
