The fast-food giant Burger King has posted a tweet about the new shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This hints at a collaboration between the two franchises. What can fans expect now?
This shows Burger King: A tweet has appeared on Burger King’s official Twitter page a few hours ago. It simply states “mission incoming”, meaning: mission incoming. Attached is a short animation:
In the animation is the outline of a building – possibly a “Burger King” branch. The name of the mission is “Burger Town Takeover”.
There are coordinates and a date: October 24. This is exactly the release time of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The coordinates refer to a GameStop location, although they were shortly thereafter corrected in follow-up tweets. The new coordinates point to the location of a Burger King restaurant.
Is a big “Modern Warfare” event coming at release?
This could mean the tweet: Currently, there are no specific details about what this tweet could mean. However, fans on Reddit and Twitter have already made some speculations about what might be behind the teaser:
- They suspect a return of the “Burger Town” missions from previous “Call of Duty” titles, for example in the campaign of Modern Warfare.
- An event is also conceivable, where promo codes for more XP in menus at Burger King could be included.
- Something simple like “Burger King” pendants or exclusive attachments for the gunsmith feature are also possible.
The original coordinates for a GameStop location create a bit of confusion.
Some fans speculate that there might be a type of Burger catering for the release of Modern Warfare at GameStop.
Burger King has played a role before
Why the collaboration? A reference to Burger King already existed in earlier parts of Call of Duty, such as Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3, and Advanced Warfare.
Various “Burger Town” branches were around, which represented a clear reference to the burger giant. The branches were relevant for missions where they could be entered.
What exactly lies behind the promo will become clear at the latest tonight. Then Modern Warfare will be released – although not yet completely:
