CALL of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is releasing in October – just in time for Christmas.
The blockbuster shooter was teased back in February, but it’s finally got a release date.
Activision will launch the game on October 28, 2022.
It’s being developed by Infinity Ward, and is a direct sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare reboot.
The game will be the 19th title in the main Call of Duty series, and follows some fan-favourite characters.
Returning to the series are Captain John Price, Sergeant Kyle ‘Gaz’, Lieutenant Simon ‘Ghost’ Riley and the iconic Sergeant John MacTavish – better known as Soap.

CIA Station Chief Kate Laswell will also be returning.
But fans have been left confused by the game.
That’s because Infinity Ward released a game called Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 back in 2009.
The name of the new game is actually Call of Duty Modern Warfare II.
But that hasn’t stopped gamers taking issue with the title.
One Twitter fan wrote: “I’ve always hated when sequels to reboots of a franchise have the same name as sequels to a game in the original franchise.”
They added: “It’s confusing. Actual airplane mode brain.”
Another moaned: “Can’t believe there’s literally two games with the same characters and the exact same name but are totally different games.”
And one said: “Dunno why they’d name it Modern Warfare 2 when there already was one.”
