Call of Duty is making a return to Steam with Modern Warfare 2

Quite some time ago, Call of Duty posted a tease on YouTube, titled, Official “Ultimate Team” Teaser - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. The teaser showed the new Task Force 141, led by Captain Price, going to a war-torn environment

The new tagline of the game is:

"The ultimate weapon is time".

Call of Duty posted the link to the video on their Twitter account. The exciting part about the tweet is that Steam's official Twitter handle shared it with an interesting emoji, which clearly indicates that the game will be available on the platform.

As fans have their problems with the battle.net launcher on PC, Steam is probably the most popular game distribution service right now. Activision has decided to ensure the availibity of the game there as well. Previously, we've seen Apex Legends and Halo Infinite do the same.

Furthermore, for those who are wondering if the game will still be available on the battle.net launcher, the answer is yes.

The gameplay reveal will be available on YouTube on June 8 at 10.00 AM PT. Fans can now go to the official Call of Duty profile and set a reminder.

Subsequently, on June 9, there is a rumored campaign reveal at Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest 2022, which will likely feature raw footage of Modern Warfare 2. As per the leaks, the runtime is set to be for seven minutes. So, fans will have a handsome amount of insight into what the upcoming game will look like.
