Latest rumors about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 say that this series installment will also get a battle royale mode. We summarize all the details and reveal what the developers have to say.
What the rumors have said so far: There are no official information about a possible battle royale mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. So far, there are only rumors and speculations. What has been confirmed to date is a single-player campaign, a traditional multiplayer, and co-op. It is also confirmed that there will be no zombie experience.
Furthermore, the US site Gaming Intel had reportedly learned in March 2019 from reliable sources that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will not have a battle royale mode, unlike Black Ops 4 . Charlie Intel also heard until recently that the Modern Warfare reboot would not feature a battle royale. Both sites are generally considered good and reliable sources for information about Call of Duty.
This is new: Last week, a new rumor arose that has since been discussed in the community and in the press.
According to the Call of Duty YouTuber TheGamingRevolution, reliable insider sources have indicated that Infinity Ward is indeed working on a battle royale mode for the new Modern Warfare.
His source reportedly revealed some initial details to him.
- The battle royale in Modern Warfare is said to currently support 152 players. Infinity Ward is working to increase that number to 200.
- The game world or map is supposed to be 2x larger than Blackout from Black Ops 4.
- The decision to include the battle royale mode is said to have been made at the last minute. Originally, no battle royale for Modern Warfare 2019 was planned.
Keep in mind that the veracity of these statements cannot be verified. Therefore, consider the information with a necessary degree of caution and skepticism.
How are the developers responding to the latest rumors? There has been a reaction from the developers regarding this rumor. However, the response is not what fans had hoped for and fuels discussions on the topic even more, rather than providing clarity.
The art director of Infinity Ward, Joel Emslie, was explicitly approached by a fan on Twitter about the battle royale rumor. He was asked to please confirm that this mode will not be appearing for Modern Warfare.
However, he only cryptically responded with a GIF showing the words “No Comment”.
What does this mean? This response leaves much room for speculation and further heats up the rumor mill and discussions. Although the answer is definitely not a confirmation, it is also not a clear denial, as fans point out.
Perhaps that was the goal all along. Because this way they stay in the conversation, even if there may be nothing new to announce.
It will be exciting to see how the whole thing develops, but it is quite conceivable that the new series installment could also tap into the popular battle royale genre. After such a comment, you can’t completely rule it out.
We will continue to monitor the situation for you and promptly inform you of new developments.
