According to an insider, the first info on Call of Duty 2022 will be revealed in April – earlier than it has been in years.
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 will in all likelihood be revealed earlier than we’ve been used to in recent years. This is reported by leaker and CoD insider Ralph on Twitter. He posted a graphic with a countdown and the date: April 30, 2022.
Ralph is considered a reliable source in the CoD community and has often been correct with his predictions in the past. However, since his statements cannot be independently verified, you should still take the information with a grain of salt.

- What will be unveiled? So far it’s unclear what will actually be shown on 30 April. According to Ralph himself, the date is explicitly not the reveal date. This suggests that it will be the first teasers, which will probably take place as an in-game event in Warzone, as in previous years.
- When will there be gameplay? In a second tweet, Ralph writes that the real Reveal is set for May 2022. Then there should probably also be a proper trailer, more tangible details about the game and in-game scenes
- What do we already know? We have already collected a lot of information from various reliable insider sources about the setting around Colombian drug cartels, the new multiplayer mode DMZ and the new Battle Royale. Here you can find the complete overview:
CoD Modern Warfare 2: We know a surprising amount about Call of Duty 2022 (UPDATE)
A Modern Warfare 2 reveal so early in the year would be a stark break from previous years, as both Vanguard and Black Ops: Cold War weren’t officially unveiled until August. It was a different story with Modern Warfare, whose first trailer was released in May 2019.
With CoD 2022 set to be a direct sequel and, of course, following on from the ground-breaking success of MW2019, Activision could be repeating the timing and marketing strategy of that time. In this respect, Ralph’s predictions sound quite realistic.
MW2 marks a major upheaval
After all, a lot depends on the title: in 2023, for the first time in almost two decades, no new CoD part is to come. Instead, they want to continue to supply Modern Warfare 2 with content and extend the life cycle. Of course, this also increases the pressure on the new CoD to succeed.
Not only the new DMZ mode, which borrows a lot from Escape from Tarkov or Hunt Showdown, but also a relaunch of Battle Royale should contribute to a long life cycle.
Anyhow, one thing is certain: Infinity Ward’s shoulders are burdened with two enormous tasks at once. To repeat the financial record of Modern Warfare and to rebuild CoD into a longer-term service game
