Call of Duty: Modern Warfarewas just announced officially mere moments ago and already, some major details about this year’s installment in the series have started to come about.
This time around, it seems that Activision will be shaking things up quite drastically compared to previousCall of Dutygames. In a statement from Charlie Intel, it was confirmed by Infinity Ward’s Creative Director Patrick Kelly thatModern Warfarewill support both crossplay and will not include a season pass. Both of these changes forCall of Dutyare pretty monumental for the franchise.
Kelly’s full statement about the change this year said the following:
“Every design decision has been made with our players in mind. With the launch ofModern Warfare, we’re taking steps to unite the community. First, we plan forModern Warfareto be played together across PC and console through cross-play support. Second, we’re eliminating the traditional season pass, so that we can deliver more free maps and content as well as post-launch events to all players. This is just the beginning – there’s much more to come.”
In recent years, other publishers have started to shy away from the season pass model with their multiplayer games in pursuit of keeping the entire community together. It seems that Activision has finally decided that this is the best course of action withCall of Dutyin 2019 as well and has decided to go down that same route. As for the crossplay feature, this is something that many fans have been asking about for quite some time. To see it finally being implemented is definitely a positive.
There’s still a whole lot more we’ll likely learn aboutModern Warfareas the day goes on, so stay tuned.Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis set to launch on PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 25.
