Modern Warfare III might actually just be DLC to Modern Warfare II according to the games code

Since Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II released the word originally was that Activision was going to release a $70 expansion for the game. It turns out they cancelled that plan and are now releasing Modern Warfare III on November 10, 2023.

PlayStation Game Size on Twitter shared that Modern Warfare II’s icon changed to the cover art of MWIII in Update 01.023.000. Tom Henderson of Insider Gaming collaborated with this and gave us more specific details about the next Call of Duty. It seems that “Modern Warfare III content is coming via add-ons for Modern Warfare II”, Tom stated.

The Beta codes for Modern Warfare III will also use the same concept ID as Modern Warfare II. Tom also said Modern Warfare II will change to a Call of Duty Hub that will display Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III and Warzone all in one menu.

Activision hasn’t officially said anything regarding this just yet, but Tom Henderson has been spot on with Call of Duty leaks over the last year. He first leaked the release date for Modern Warfare III along with important dates to be aware of such as Campaign Early Access.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III releases November 10, 2023 on Xbox Series XlS, PC and PlayStation 5.
