Courtesy of multiple leaks over recent months, it’s all been all but confirmed for a while now that this year’s Call of Duty game is going to be a direct follow-up to last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, appropriately titled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. Now, it seems like Activision has also made that official.

In a recent tweet via the official Call of Duty account, Activision indicated that Operators, weapons, and bundles released for Modern Warfare 2 will all carry forward into this year’s game as well, thus confirming the title to be a new instalment in the Modern Warfare line of games.

Journalist Jason Schreier took to Twitter shortly afterward, reiterating previous leaks that the game was originally planned as year 2 DLC for Modern Warfare 2 before being morphed into a full premium release, and that it is being developed primarily by Sledgehammer Games, with Infinity Ward, Raven Software, and “others” providing develoment support. According to Schreier, “some” maps from Modern Warfare 2 will also carry over.

Additionally, DMCA strikes by Activision against content focused on recent leaks for this year’s game also seem to confirm that it will indeed be called Modern Warfare 3, true to leaks (via @BobNetworkUK on Twitter).

As for when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will be unveiled, reports have claimed that an official announcement is set for August, with the game due out in November. Recently, the shooter was also shown off behind-closed-doors to NBA stars.
