An extremely trusted scooper recently broke the internet while unleashing crucial details related to this year’s “full premium” title.

However, Tom also revealed that apart from Sledgehammer, there are other studios as well involved in the project. Which is the usual case with every new Call of Duty. Multiple developing teams under Activision have been working on a single AAA title for years now.

Coming onto its availability, then 2023’s premium game will have two beta weeks before its main launch date. It will also provide an early access period to the players for the single-player Campaign. Additionally, it will be playable on the past generation of consoles as well, like the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It is expected to release on November 10, 2023.
