Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III seems to have been a major effort taking seven of Activision’s studios to work on, but we may already know the reason for that.
Tech4Gamers reported that a total of 7 studios were brought together to produce this game. The expected big three studios are here, in Sledgehammer Games, Treyarch, and Infinity Ward. They are joined by four of the many support studios Activision has assigned to the release.
Those four studios are Beenox, Raven Software, High Moon Studios, and Demonware. You may recognize the first three of these four studios as the makers of some of the most popular and critically acclaimed non-Call of Duty related games Activision has even published. For example, High Moon Studios worked closely with Hasbro to make the Transformers: War for Cybertron games, that Hasbro now wants to see get a rerelease, on Game Pass to boot.
So, the discourse over how Activision has acquired several talented studios only to make them Call of Duty support studios isn’t new at all. We know they could be making more than Call of Duty games, and Activision has chosen to dedicate those talents to only one game.
For those curious, Demonware doesn’t make video games. They’re actually a middleware developer, specializing in middleware to enable online features.
In the case of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, Activision may have had good reason to pool together seven studios, including the three big ones, onto this one project. That reason being that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III is rumored to be Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II content, that Activision decided to spin off into its own game.
Why the rush? That’s because Microsoft and Activision hadn’t safely completed their merger acquisition agreement. The deal coincided with the end of Activision’s current contract for Call of Duty. They had to round up a game for this year that would safely hit this holiday, and also allow them a clean break from Sony, just in case.
Our source believes that these many studios means a lot of content. We put forward the idea that these studios were brought together just to make sure the game got finished, at an acceptable state, and on time. Hopefully, they are able to meet just that goal.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III will be released on November 10, 2023. No platforms have been announced yet, but it’s likely to once again appear on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows on Battle.net and Steam. The verdict is still out if it will also arrive on the Nintendo Switch. A reveal event is scheduled for this August 17, 2023.
Activision has released a 9-minute campaign gameplay video for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
2011’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was the conclusion to the Modern Warfare subseries, at least until it came back with its 2019 reboot. Unlike the original trilogy, however, the rebooted Modern Warfare series will not be ending with its upcoming third instalment.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III just got a gameplay reveal trailer — a slightly misleading title, given most of the footage is loaded with cinematics. Indeed, it is focused on the campaign, which sees Captain Price and his Task Force 141 take on the Russian ultranationalist war criminal Vladimir Makarov, as he extends his grasp across the world. Publisher Activision has introduced a new non-linear campaign structure called ‘Open Combat Missions,' memorable multiplayer maps, and a Zombies mode set in an open world. Pre-orders for the game are now live across all major platforms.
Unlike the original Modern Warfare trilogy, 2023's Modern Warfare 3 won't be the end.

Call of Duty fans are unearthing new information on Modern Warfare 3 via a secret mobile number, confirming a Zombies mode and remakes of classic Modern Warfare 2 maps.
Before its official reveal on August 17th, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is seeing its fair share of rumors and leaks (which is par for the course, given the last few months). Insider Gaming and PlayStation Size reported that the sequel is being delivered to Modern Warfare 2 (2022) via add-ons. It now seems that the multiplayer maps are all remastered from Modern Warfare 2 (2009).
Activision and Infinity Ward finally revealed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 last week after months of rumors and leaks and confirmed Makarov in a recent trailer. A full reveal is coming on August 17th, but the Steam page for the title has revealed the number of studios involved in development.
Activision is doing something different with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III, this year's entry in the blockbuster military shooter series. Rather than starting from scratch and having to rebuild your collection of weapons and cosmetic items, Activision is letting players carry over nearly everything they unlock in Modern Warfare II.
Did you spend dozens of hours unlocking weapons in 2022's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2? Are you groaning at the thought of leaving all your precious shootybangs behind, once the Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 remake rolls around on November 10th? Such has ever been the lot of the career CODDER, asked to start anew with every sequel like Sisyphus returning to his boulder, except that Sisyphus didn't have to worry about trolls over voicechat. All that changes with Modern Warfare 3, however, which brings across a "vast amount" of content from Modern Warfare 2, including guns, attachments and cosmetics.
