Ahead of the game’s official reveal, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 logo has surfaced online. Reports suggest Sledgehammer Games is developing the game, aiming for a Q4 2023 release. The leaked logo offers a sneak peek at what the game’s official cover might resemble.
In 2022, the most recent addition to the well-established Call of Duty series is “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.” This instalment follows Task Force 141 as they strive to thwart the terrorist schemes of Quds Force Major Hassan Zyani across the globe in the game’s campaign.
Once the campaign is completed, the narrative extends through Special Ops mode and Call of Duty: Warzone, bringing the Modern Warfare reboot’s storyline up to the present year of 2023.
Rumours circulated earlier this year, suggesting an expansion for Modern Warfare 2 would be released towards the end of 2023, introducing a new campaign and multiplayer content.
However, there is also speculation and hearsay hinting at a different approach, with Activision and Sledgehammer Games possibly opting to unveil “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3” by the end of 2023 instead of continuing with an expansion for Modern Warfare 2.

The promotional material showcases a depiction of Captain Price alongside the striking red Modern Warfare 3 logo on cardboard boxes holding Monster Energy drink cans.
Per the details revealed in the Monster Energy promotion, fans of Call of Duty can unlock exclusive rewards in Modern Warfare 3 upon purchasing a Monster Energy drink and scanning a QR code at the game’s launch.
The character Ghost from Modern Warfare 2 is also featured in the Modern Warfare 3 and Monster Energy promotion. This popular character can be spotted alongside the QR code on eligible Monster Energy drink cans.
However, the details of the Modern Warfare 3 promotion remain uncertain due to the leaked photo’s poor image quality, and Activision has not officially announced the upcoming title.
Despite the absence of an official announcement, the recent leak supports a federal judge’s comments concerning the release of Modern Warfare 3. Monster Energy seems to be gearing up for a significant marketing campaign for its drinks to coincide with the promotion, suggesting that the Modern Warfare 3 reveal is imminent.
Rumours and leaks surrounding Modern Warfare 3 suggest that the developers are addressing various concerns and player requests from Modern Warfare 2. This includes adjustments to the mini-map and the return of the War Mode from Call of Duty: WW2.
In the meantime, fans of the Call of Duty series should stay tuned to Activision’s official channels while awaiting the official announcement and trailer for Modern Warfare 3.
