Is the cat out of the bag already?

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is nearing its climax as the fans have their eyes set on the next major premium from Activision. While they are yet to see even first poster for this year’s installment, it looks like some fortunate NBA stars have already got a sneak peek at CoD 2023.

In case anyone missed to keep track of events, several popular NBA players recently took to social media to share their excitement for the rumored Modern Warfare III entry. These players were invited to an event, as part of the Summer League. It appears as if they also got to try out some kind of a demo from the upcoming game.

Initially, the pictures were shared from a renowned sports photographer who was also invited to this event. Cassy Athena, who’s an artist and photographer from Los Angeles, California, was one of the first few individuals to share images from the event. On her Instagram profile, Cassy dropped a story while writing that she “stopped by to check out the new game preview”.

Moreover, media outlet CharlieIntel also dropped some extra images. Looking at them, one would initially assume the players are enjoying the rumored game’s demo on PlayStation 5 models. However, the pictures seen in the tweet, below, are either from Warzone or possibly Modern Warfare II, and not CoD 2023.

Speaking of the anticipated installment itself, Modern Warfare III is expected to be a continuation of the current title. It’s rumored to be helmed mainly by Sledgehammer. The latter is the same studio that worked on Vanguard more than a year ago.

Activision is yet to unveil the first look at this year’s offering. Going by the strong leaks so far, it could be introduced in the first week of August. One more interesting thing to note is the above tweet indicates, through the images, that the new game will be on PlayStation as well – at least for this year.
