If a new leak is to be believed, then Call of Duty: Modern Warfare might indeed receive a battle royale mode. This is supposed to be free-to-play, but will not launch with the game.
Where do the information come from? The latest leak regarding the 2019 reboot of Modern Warfare comes from YouTuber LongSensation. He has correctly predicted several leaks about this year’s “Call of Duty” installment in the past. Among other things, he was the first to leak the final name of the new Modern Warfare.
Nonetheless: These are unofficially confirmed details. Therefore, take them with a grain of caution.
What is the current official status regarding battle royale in Modern Warfare? Although the developers at Infinity Ward have not categorically ruled out a possible battle royale, currently such a mode is not the topic.
They are focusing firmly on the traditional multiplayer. Therefore, there are currently numerous discussions and speculations about whether Modern Warfare will get a battle royale or not.
What does the leak reveal? The new alleged details revolve around a battle royale mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
There are 2 central pieces of information:
- Modern Warfare 2019 will receive a battle royale mode, but not directly at launch. It is supposed to be added early in 2020.
- According to the leak, the battle royale of Modern Warfare will be free-to-play. Moreover, it should be available for download as a standalone game. However, it will be linked to the base game.
What does this mean for players? If this information turns out to be true, it would be a big step towards the players.
Battle royale was introduced in Call of Duty with Black Ops 4 in the form of Blackout, but is tied to the main game. So anyone who wanted to play battle royale in Call of Duty had to buy Black Ops 4.
If battle royale were now decoupled from the main game, many more players could try out this mode and fill the servers. Because the blackout mode from Black Ops 4 is popular among players. However, many interested players or pure battle royale enthusiasts have been deterred by the fact that blackout was only available in connection with the paid game. But this might change with the next installment of the series.
These details were recently officially revealed: Although there is no further official information about a possible battle royale, the developers have released several other interesting details in the past few days:
- How CoD Modern Warfare aims to offer something for every player type with its killstreaks
- How the new operators work in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare
- CoD Modern Warfare gets the holy grail of shooters: Dedicated Servers
- Gunsmith in CoD Modern Warfare: How to build the perfect weapon
What would you think of a battle royale in Modern Warfare 2019? Especially if it were free-to-play and a standalone mode?
