Activision Blizzard officially announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 earlier this year. The annual franchise will be handled by Infinity Ward this year and will be a sequel to the 2019 reboot. Early details say that Modern Warfare 2 will center around U.S. special forces fighting the Colombian drug cartel.

This could also be the last annual Call of Duty game as it was reported that 2023's Call of Duty game will be released in 2024 and that the series may no longer be an annual franchise following Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard.

However, reports also suggest that Activision Blizzard is committed to keeping the next three Call of Duty games multiplatform.

The first of the rebooted Modern Warfare's had some moral darkness in its storytelling, and definitely had some things to say. A lot has happened since 2019, but I'm hoping we see that storytelling trend continue. It's been rumored that the campaign will see US special forces taking on Columbian drug cartels, which is certainly a pile of subject matter with a lot to talk about.
