Call of Duty 2023 is set to be developed by Sledgehammer Games according to Insider Gaming. This comes after previous suggestions that the 2023 release would be a “premium DLC” for Modern Warfare 2.
While the title of the next game has yet to be revealed, key dates for the next installment of Activision’s first-person shooter have also been leaked.
Call of Duty 2023 will feature two beta weekends according to this latest information. One weekend will be PlayStation only, while the next will be for all consoles.
- Beta Weekend 1 (PS4/5) – October 6, 2023 – October 10, 2023
- Beta Weekend 2 (PS4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S, PC) – October 12, 2023 – October 16, 2023
Meanwhile, the launch of the game has been penciled in for early November 2023.
- Campaign Early Access (PS4/5) – November 2, 2023
- Full Release (PS4/5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S, PC) – November 10, 2023

With Activision dropping the MW2 expansion, the next COD game will still be set in the Modern Warfare world.
Due to this information, the leaker suggests that Call of Duty 2023 could be titled “Modern Warfare 3”.
This would make sense considering Sledgehammer Games were a significant part of the development of the original Modern Warfare 3 back in 2011.
However, for the time being, fans must wait to see what the next game delivers and instead enjoy all of the new content for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.
