Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Not an Expansion or Add-On But a Full $70 “Premium Release”, Activision Says
The upcoming Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 won't be an expansion or add-on but a full premium release, according to Activision.
Last week, after basically confirming the existence of the game last month, Activision officially announced Modern Warfare 3 with a trailer and a November 2023 release date. Now, since rumors have been suggesting that Call of Duty would be skipping a release this year, and reports claiming that Sledgehammer would release a paid Modern Warfare II expansion this year, there has been confusion about what Modern Warfare 3 will be - an add-on, expansion or full-fledged new release. Things became even more confusing after Steam listed the game as merely an add-on.
As now confirmed by an Activision spokesperson, however, Modern Warfare 3 will be a "full" $70 USD release. “As stated in numerous Activision Blizzard quarterly conference calls, Modern Warfare III is a premium release. It will be price[d] accordingly at $70 USD,” an Activision spokesperson told Call of Duty outlet CharlieIntel.
As explained by Charlie Intel on Twitter, Sledgehammer Games' Call of Duty 2023 entry is only listed as an add-on on Steam due to all Call of Duty games becoming an add-on for the Call of Duty HQ application going forward. As with other Activision-Blizzard titles, the series will have one launcher.
The game is listed as an Add-On on Steam because all Call of Duty games will be an add-on for the Call of Duty HQ app going forward, to simplify CoD into one launcher.
