Even if Microsoft is in the process of completing the acquisition of Activision Blizzard King this month, any existing deals that Activision had with Sony will still be honored.
As spotted by CharlieIntel (thanks, VGC) on the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 – Zombie trailer, the last portion of the video indicated “Call of Duty: MWIII PS5 Console Bundle”, confirming that a Modern Warfare 3 console bundle is going to release at some point.
Right now, interested buyers should wait for an official announcement from Sony about the Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 PS5 console bundle.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will hold another early access multiplayer beta from Friday, October 13, until Monday, October 16, 2023.
Sledgehammer Games also confirmed a new game mode called Cutthroat. This 3v3v3 mode will use the core multiplayer maps, and players will only have one life per round, much like Search and Destroy. To win a round, a team must eliminate all enemy teams or wait for overtime to initiate a capture-the-flag mode.
Aside from that, the Lockpick Operator pack will be available to PlayStation players who preorder the game. This exclusive content will be available to other platforms on November 9, 2023, as the COD MW3 Zombie trailer video indicates.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 will officially launch on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC this November 10, 2023.
