Modern Warfare III gets its reveal on Thursday inside Warzone.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III gets its reveal inside Warzone tomorrow as a ‘direct sequel’

Activision is prepping to reveal Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III at its Shadow Siege Limited Time Event inside Call of Duty: Warzone 2 at 10:30 a.m. Pacific time on Thursday.

Today, Activision gave us a little context for the game, which is a “direct sequel” to last year’s Modern Warfare II and is set to launch on November 10. It’s a surprise to see a “direct sequel” from last year’s title because in the past, Activision rotated the launch year among three major studios and then changed the theme each year, from World War II to Modern Warfare to Black Ops.
