The speculations are over now as Activision just finally lifted the curtain off all the floating rumors. It has been confirmed that 2022’s upcoming Call of Duty is, in fact, a direct sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare.

As per the official announcement made on Monday, Activision officially shared the much-needed intel on one of the most awaited games of the year. The team of Infinity Ward is helming the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2, just in case you didn’t keep track.

Call of Duty 2022 to continue the legacy of 2019’s Modern Warfare

The previous entry arrived almost three years ago and went on to become highly successful, thanks to record sales worldwide. Plus, a majority of the players widely acclaimed its gameplay design and overall quality.

Earlier this year, Call of Duty did confirm that a new game is coming in 2022. But it wasn’t known whether it will be a continuation or a complete remaster of any past installment.

However, now there’s no doubt about it, as Activision just made it quite clear. Trusted outlet, CharlieIntel, reported this massive news on its Twitter account, with the following tweet:

As you can clearly read, Modern Warfare 2 will be the sequel to the game from 2019, which also happens to be the best-selling COD to date. Plus, the upcoming offering will be an even better and “most advanced experience in franchise history”.

The overall situation now looks quite interesting as Activision is also busy in preparing for its merger with Xbox. After the completion of the deal with Microsoft, all of the publisher’s renowned IPs, including CoD, will come under Xbox Game Studios’ boss Phil Spencer. And it looks almost inevitable that he will focus a lot on making this franchise even more iconic in the coming future than what it is right now.
