Infinity Ward, the game’s developer, revealed at the end of the video that its “world reveal” will release on June 8.

That means gamers have to wait just a few more days to get their first proper look at the first-person shooter.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is out in October – just in time for Christmas.

The blockbuster shooter was first teased back in February while its release date was only confirmed last week.

GAME ON

It’s being published by Activision and is a direct sequel to 2019’s Modern Warfare reboot.

The new live-action trailer shows Task Force 141, the main team from that game, preparing to go behind enemy lines.

The camera pans between characters inside some sort of vehicle as explosions and bullets fly around them.

“The ultimate weapon is team,” Activision said in its description.

Modern Warfare II 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, and we will likely introduce a new Warzone 2 mode, too.

It’s unclear exactly what the storyline will be, but it’s expected to follow on from the events of 2019’s Modern Warfare.

In that game, we saw the CIA team up with the SAS to take on Russian forces and a terrorist group called Al-Qatala.

In a blog post about Modern Warfare II, Activision said: “A global squad of iconic veterans and new legends of yet untold clandestine missions, these Operators are set to deliver a new era of Call of Duty when Modern Warfare® II releases on October 28, 2022.”

The shooter is not to be confused with Modern Warfare 2, a game released by Infinity Ward back in 2009.

That featured many of the same characters as the title coming out this year.

To make things simpler (ahem), the new game gets the roman numeral “II” to distinguish it from its earlier counterpart.

Call of Duty is one of the world’s biggest gaming franchises, pulling in an estimated 100million players each month across its games.
