The classic hit first-person shooter game Call of
Duty: Modern Warfare is scheduled to be shown at E3 2019. Oscar Dayus at gamespot.com
is reporting that us gamers will have a look at the updated reboot of the
blockbuster title.
The new Call of Duty game is set for an October
25, 2019 release date. The platforms will be on PS4, Xbox One, and PC. The
gameplay will be focused on a more realistic idea of combat. There is still
very little information about the multiplayer mode. According to the game’s
creators, the voice actors will also be different.
Cross-play
is the new “big” feature of the game. Gamers can now play together across PS4,
Xbox One, and PC, adding to the longevity of the new game. Activision has
announced that the company will not be selling season passes that lock
multiplayer maps. The new maps and events will be free to all players. This is
a welcomed business strategy to get as many gamers to buy and play the game as
possible. Further DLC’s will launch exclusively on PS4 first.
Another major change that's coming to the game’s
direction is the idea that the original 2007 game will be set in a different
universe than the new 2019 version. The game is being published by Activision
and developed by Infinity Ward, who’s studio narrative director, Taylor
Kurosaki had this to say about the direction of the game:
“Sure, well, the original game was ripped from
the headlines. But it was ripped from the headlines of 2007. And now, here we
are 12 years later, and the world has further changed. I would say that
compared to 2007, the [Operation Iraqi Freedom] or whatever it was, that was
kind of traditional warfare. Those were guys in tanks, fighting other guys in
tanks and Jeeps, and this side wore this uniform and this other side wore a
different uniform, and this side flew this flag, and the other side flew the
other flag.”
Taylor Kurosaki also elaborated that the games
would be much more mature, authentic, and focused on the realities of being a
soldier. The game’s creators set goals for the campaign: "Create an
emotional connection through the realities of war," and "Push the
boundaries of the medium."
The recurring trend of taking the older “tried
and true” hit titles, remaking them, repackaging them, adding new features, and
selling them again seems to be the way many video game companies are staying in
business. Who knows how long this trend will last, but for the rest of us
gamers, we welcome the new redesigned games especially the cross-play feature.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 is scheduled to be shown at E3 June 11, 2019,
at 3:00 PM.
