Rob Kostich, the president of Activision, recently teased some upcoming surprises for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare while attending an Activision Blizzard Q4 Investor Call. He also elaborated on some of the recent decisions Activision has made for the game.
Activision and Infinity Ward recently removed Modern Warfare’s Season Pass in favor of the new Battle Pass. So, an investor asked Activision what kind of impact that had on the player base. Kostich answered the question on behalf of the company and, in the process, hinted that new features would be coming to the game later this year. He didn’t necessarily specify when, however.
In regards to the Season Pass, Kostich claimed that Activision wanted to give Modern Warfare players a “better overall experience,” as the Season Pass, in particular, unintentionally split the Call of Duty community. As such, Kostich is happy that Activision and Infinity Ward implemented cross-play and cross-progression, two features that allow players to play with anyone no matter what platform they’re on. Kostich went on to comment on his delight at seeing how these new features have brought Call of Duty players back together.
Kostich then mentioned that new content would be coming to Modern Warfare in the future; however, he didn’t specify anything. He said that Activision intends to supply Modern Warfare with great content for “the long haul.” He also mentioned Season 2 directly, claiming it would be a “great pipeline of new content” when it arrives next week.
While the content wasn’t explicitly talked about, it’s likely that Season 2 will finally introduce a Battle Royal mode. There’s already a lot of evidence suggesting that Infinity Ward is developing it, so it could very well be one of the new modes introduced with the new Season 2 update.
The addition of more Gunfight variants seems obvious since it’s easily one of the most popular game modes in Modern Warfare. And, since Kostich pointed out that Activision wants to focus on the new Battle Pass and Item Shop features of the game, players can likely expect more cosmetic content to be making its way over. Whether or not all of this will be arriving in Season 2 remains a mystery, though. Some things may have to wait until Season 3 for a release. Players don’t have long to find out about what’s coming, though, as Modern Warfare’s Season 2 begins on February 11.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
