14 DAY TRIAL // The Call of Duty franchise continues this year with a new title, which might seem very familiar to long-time fan of the series, Modern Warfare. A new Captain Price is now being played by actor Barry Sloane who's doing his own impression of the iconic character. If you haven't guessed by now, this is a reboot of one of the best games in the Call of Duty series, developed by the folks at Infinity Ward.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare launches October 25th and, unlike any of the previous titles, it will feature cross-platform support, which means players from all major platforms – PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC will be able to play together. To make things even sweeter, Activision announced that the upcoming Call of Duty game won't have a season pass, but it will definitely offer a consistent single-player campaign, along with the usual multiplayer mode.
“This is an all-new Modern Warfare reimagined in every way. We are creating an emotionally charged experience that’s inspired by the headlines in the world today, where the rules are grey and battle lines are blurred. Players will join a varied cast of international special forces and freedom fighters in gripping and heart-pounding missions through iconic European cities and volatile expanses of the Middle East. It’s intense, it’s exciting, and we can’t wait for our fans to play this October,” said Dave Stohl, co-Studio Head, Infinity Ward.
The graphics engine has been completely overhauled and promises Call of Duty fans an immersive and photo-realistic experience. The new technology utilizes the latest advancements in visual engineering, including a physically-based material system allowing for state of the art photogrammetry, a new hybrid tile based streaming system, new PBR decal rendering system, world volumetric lighting, 4K HDR, DirectX Raytracing (PC) and more as well as a new GPU geometry pipeline.
Starting today, fans can pre-order the digital version of the new Modern Warfare and receive a prestige token to be used immediately in-game in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is scheduled for release globally October 25th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. The title features a fully-optimized PC version, developed in partnership with Beenox, which will be available exclusively on Blizzard Battle.net, Blizzard Entertainment’s online gaming platform.
