Is Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Next-Gen Only?

Could the upcoming release Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 be exclusive to next-gen platforms? That’s the question that a number of fans are asking following a new tease from developer Infinity Ward. While Activision itself hasn’t even confirmed that Modern Warfare 2 is in development, the publisher did reveal today that Infinity Ward will be creating the 2022 installment in the series. Based on numerous leaks and reports in recent months, that game will almost surely end up being a sequel to 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Although details are still sparse on what to expect with the game, it sounds like it may end up only coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X. In a new message on social media today, Infinity Ward seemed to indicate that its next Call of Duty title will only be heading to next-gen hardware. “A new generation of Call of Duty is coming soon,” Infinity Ward said simply. It went on to end the message by saying, “Stay frosty,” which is a direct reference to Modern Warfare. So while Modern Warfare 2 itself hasn’t been outright confirmed to be in the works, this statement blatantly teases that it’s going to be the next game in the series.
