Where to watch the Modern Warfare 2 reveal
The Modern Warfare 2 reveal will premiere on Wednesday, June 8 at 10am PT, 6pm BST onYouTube.
You’ll also be able to see more of MW2 at the Summer Game Fest on Thursday, June 9 at 11am PT / 7pm BST.
What to expect from the Modern Warfare 2 reveal
There are, it turns out, two different Modern Warfare 2 reveals happening this week. On Wednesday, Activision is premiering what it calls the “worldwide reveal” for MW2. Most likely, we can expect a longer trailer thanlast week’s teaser video, with actual in-game footage and a hint at the campaign story, similar to the initial reveal for the last Modern Warfare game.
Activision has also let on that it will be bringing Modern Warfare 2 to the Summer Game Fest the following day, which kicks off at 11am PT / 7pm BST time. SGF is calling that a “world premiere gameplay level” for MW2. Given that a campaign mission from Call of Duty: Vanguardpremieredduring Keighley’s Opening Night Live show at last year’s Gamescom, and Keighley has previously mentioned this year’s SGF will have more, longer gameplay demonstrations, we’re betting on getting a more representative look at Modern Warfare 2’s campaign.
By the end of the week, we’ll be all revealed out on CoD and turning our eyes towards that October launch date.
