The possibility of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 being the next game in this year’s annual release cycle is becoming stronger, as Sledgehammer Games, an Activision studio, seems to be teasing the game. On their official Twitter profile, the banner photo now features a new logo with a Roman numeral three replacing the “e” in Sledgehammer Games, which hints at the game’s title.
This tease aligns with a previously reported leak, where prominent Call of Duty reporter Charlie Intel shared an image of key art depicting Captain Price with a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 logo on a promotional multi-pack box of Monster Energy drink cans.
Earlier reports suggested that the 2023 Call of Duty game would be a continuation of the story from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and it is speculated that the upcoming game may have started as an expansion before becoming a standalone title.
Notably, Call of Duty games usually follow a three-year development cycle, with three studios taking turns to release games. If the rumors are true, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 would mark the first direct annual continuation of a mainline game since the original World War Two trilogy during the franchise’s early years.
Fans will have to wait for official confirmation, but the potential release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is generating excitement among gamers eagerly anticipating the next installment in the long-running and popular shooter series.
