The Ultimate Threat Returns

Activision has finally raised the curtains from the big mystery surrounding the villain of Call of Duty 2023. The latest reveal trailer for Makarov is here. Not to mention that it’s everything (and more) one can imagine about the antagonist’s brutal return to form.

In case anyone missed keeping track of events, Sledgehammer Games is the leading developer of Modern Warfare III. Following the official logo reveal for the title, the makers have now released a full-length trailer as well. It primarily focuses on the character of Makarov and his plans to destroy the world.

Task Force 141 has an uphill task of fighting Vladimir Makarov in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III

The live-action trailer starts with Makarov being inside a prison and is seen donning scary tattoos. In the background is Captain Price giving a voiceover about the villain himself. “This is not a threat. Not an if, but when.” Price describes him as a “force of evil who seeks to tear the world apart peace by peace”.

As the trailer concludes, we see Makarov (played by actor Julian Kostov) leaving the prison. One can assume he’s on his mission of something sinister. “To him, every ally is a weapon, every bystander a shield”, Price continues to speak.

In its entirety, the clip is full of elements to decipher for hardcore franchise lovers. For example, there’s a scene of an area getting exploded. It could be the event connecting to the destruction of Verdansk.
