Digital pre-orders for Modern Warfare II grant campaign access ‘up to a week early’
The Call of Duty franchise has been releasing games on an annual basis for many years at this point, and fans won’t have to wait longer for the latest iteration. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is set to be released this October, and developer Infinity Ward has now announced that players can get their hands on the single-player campaign a week early with a digital pre-order.
This new pre-order bonus for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II campaign is the first time that players have been offered early campaign access. Typically, pre-order bonuses entail early access to multiplayer. However, this could be a smart move as it gives players a reason to play the campaign without feeling pressured to immediately hop into multiplayer for fear of falling behind the crowd.
Everyone who pre-orders a digital copy of Modern Warfare II will receive early access to the campaign “up to” a week earlier than the official release date, which suggests October 20. Modern Warfare II will see its full release around a week later on October 28.
Modern Warfare II is the latest game in the Call of Duty franchise and the sequel to 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
