Alongside early access to the campaign, which will feature the return of Task Force 141 – players will receive a “host of other previously announced rewards” and give players “a week to complete the incredible multimission, single-player, globe-trotting operation before the full game” before the game’s official release date.
Featuring the return of Price, Garrick, Soap, and Ghost – they’ll be joined by new characters for the sequel – Commander Philip Graves and Mexican Special Forces Colonel Alejandro Vargas. Modern Warfare II pits Task Force 141 against their “greatest threat yet,” which has been described as “a newly aligned menace with deep, yet unknown connections.”
Fans of the long-running series are advised to keep September 15 open in their calendars, following the recent announcement of Call of Duty: Next, described as “an era-defining franchise event,” in which the Modern Warfare II developers will “pull back the curtain on aspects of developing the game, giving you unprecedented behind-the-scenes access to the innovations coming to the game.”
