The company also revealed that the MW2 beta will begin the next day on Sept. 16 in early access for PlayStation players before opening up to all players on PlayStation on Sept. 18 to 20. Xbox and PC players join in the following week on Sept. 22 to 23 in early access, and the beta opens up to all players on all platforms from Sept. 24 to 26.

Early access to the beta is currently available as a viewership drop during today’s CDL Championship match between the Los Angeles Thieves and Atlanta FaZe. Still, Activision said to “make sure to keep an eye open for more opportunities to receive Early Access Beta Code drops” during the Next event.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II will be released on Oct. 28, with the new Warzone scheduled to come out later this year. The Warzone mobile experience is coming sometime in 2023.
