Fans have been anticipating Modern Warfare 2 for a long time. Now we finally have the official trailer, let’s dig into the details about release date, game mods and more.
Infinity Ward has been working on a sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 for some time, and the company is now ready to reveal it. It’s called Modern Warfare 2, and it includes both a single-player narrative that continues from where the last game left off, as well as online modes including a new tactical co-op mode.

Modern Warfare 2 is on its way
Let’s talk about the campaign. Infinity Ward described the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare campaign as:
Modern Warfare ll picks up the action as the sequel to Modern Warfare (2019) as the newly formed Task Force 141 faces a massive global threat across a campaign of missions that push the boundaries of gameplay. The action takes players around the world as Task Force 141 works to neutralize a terrorist conspiracy and attack on the US, spanning locations around the globe. A newly aligned menace conspires to create chaos inside the US’ borders and Task Force 141 must come together against all odds.
Players will fight alongside the most iconic characters in Modern Warfare, including Captain Price, Ghost, Soap, Gaz and Laswell, as well as encounter a host of lethal new allies like Mexican Special Forces, Colonel Alejandro Vargas, and adversaries drawn from the murkiest corners of the global war on terror.
Given the world’s current condition, with a continuing war in Ukraine and a recent emphasis on gun violence in the United States, Modern Warfare II is releasing at an awkward moment. On this subject, according to The Verge’s report, the Infinity Ward co-studio head Patrick Kelly said: “We’re telling fictional stories. But it is inspired by real-world military events that shape the world we live in. This is a sensitive one for me because with the events going on in the world, the war on Ukraine, it’s important to me that we be sensitive on this one.”
Multiplayer will feature large-scale maps for many players simultaneously and smaller ones geared towards six vs. six play sessions. According to the studio, there’ll also be “an evolved special ops game mode with tactical co-op gameplay,” according to the studio.
Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Warzone will be coming to mobile, as part of its official introduction of Modern Warfare 2. There is not much else known about the game at this time; however, the publisher claims that it is a component of “a new era” for the Call of Duty series:
October 28th marks a new beginning for Call of Duty starting with the release of Modern Warfare II. Soon after, a wholly new Warzone will launch as an extension of the Modern Warfare II universe. With it comes new technology, new features, and new gameplay that work seamlessly together. Throughout, we have taken a wide range of community feedback to heart. In order to fully deliver this state-of-the-art experience, Warzone 2.0 will feature new Modern Warfare II content and systems with brand new progression and inventories. Today’s Warzone will continue on as a separate experience that will include a continuation of player progression and inventories within that Warzone experience.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is set to release on October 28th for the following platforms: PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via both Battle.net and Steam. If you want to learn how to move a Steam game to another drive, head in!
Will Modern Warfare 2 be on Game Pass?
Activision has shown no indication that it will introduce Modern Warfare 2 to Game Pass, but there’s always a chance the company will reverse its decision.
However, with the poor sales numbers of Vanguard and the mixed reaction to Warzone’s Pacific era, you can never be sure if 2022’s Modern Warfare 2 will turn out to be another blockbuster release for the platform.
We’ll keep you up to date on any news we hear on whether Modern Warfare 2 will be available on Game Pass. Do you wonder what games are coming to Game Pass in June, we got you covered!
When is Modern Warfare 2 open beta?
Unfortunately, Activision did not announce the Modern Warfare 2 open beta dates at the same time as the reveal trailer. However, following in Infinity Ward’s footsteps with previous Call of Duty games, Modern Warfare (2019) was published around the same time as MW2. As a result, we can make some informed estimates based on that information.
The beta for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is now available to everyone who pre-ordered the game on PS4. On September 14, the beta began for those who pre-ordered the game on PS4 and was accessible to all PS4 users on September 16. A second open beta started for people who had pre-ordered the game on any platform beginning September 19 and continuing until September 21, when it was made available to everyone. On September 23, the cross-play test came to an end.
Activision said that it has a marketing agreement with PlayStation, so we anticipate similar open beta timing for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
Modern Warfare 2 trailer song
The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 trailer music is a J Balvin cover of Metallica’s Wherever I May Roam, from The Metallica Blacklist album, which will be released in 2021. A distinctive motif based on sitar-like strings and gongs quickly turns into a reggaeton rhythm before the two ends up merging together to create an excellent combination of old-school thrash and trap music.
It’s clear that this version may be unknown to many people who know Wherever I May Roam’s opening, since it has over 132 million Spotify listens compared to the cover’s roughly six million. You can listen to the song below:
