Industry insider reveals Call of Duty 2022's baffling name

If you're confused, you're not alone. Infinity Ward already released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 in 2009, with a remaster of its single-player campaign coming in March 2020. The decision to name 2022's game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is sure to cause some misunderstandings for the franchise's longtime fans. But, if it's any consolation, following up on 2019's successful Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot makes a lot of sense.

According to Henderson, Activision insists on using the roman numeral for the number two and that the box art for the game is "amazing". He also added that it will have a single-player campaign involving Task Force 141 and their fight against drug cartels.

If this is true, then fans have a reason to feel excited. A more familiar locale following years of fighting against Russia is a welcome change of pace for the Call of Duty franchise. Not to mention, the rebooted Task Force 141 squad means that fans will get a chance to see some of their favorite soldiers once again like Gaz, Ghost, and Soap, as well as other members of Price's beloved sequel.

Henderson stopped short of confirming exactly when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II will release in 2022. Even so, it's safe to say that fans are looking forward to seeing Task Force 141 once again.
