Call of Duty Next event – what time does it start?
The Call of Duty Next showcase event kicks off today, Thursday, September 15, 2022.
The show will kick off at 9:30am PDT, that’s 5:30pm UK time, as per the official Call of Duty Twitter account.
Call of Duty Next event – how can I watch?
Activision has confirmed you’ll be able to watch the event alive across just about all its social channels.
You can find the Call of Duty YouTube channel here, and the Call of Duty Twitch channel over here. There’s also the official Twitter account, and even the official Facebook page too.
There’ll even be some bonus behind the scenes content from the event. That’ll be posted to the official Instagram account and over on the Call of Duty Tiktok.
Or you can simply watch it in the embedded player below so you don’t have to go anywhere. Handy, eh?
Call of Duty Next event – what games will be shown off?
Of course, Activision have been fairly vague about what to expect to get you all to tune in. They have given a few morsels of info to let us know though.
Of course, Modern Warfare 2 will be a big part of the show, with a full reveal of that game’s Multiplayer. That’ll include the debut of brand new maps and modes. There’ll also be gameplay from several prominent Call of Duty streamers, all playing in real time.
However, we’re also promised that there’ll be fresh info on “the next” Call of Duty Warzone, also known as Warzone 2. Will we get a look at it? Well, given it’s scheduled for release “not long after” Modern Warfare 2 we’d hope so. We’ll have to wait and see.
Finally, Activision has also promised a reveal of the just-announced Mobile version of Call of Duty: Warzone. It revealed a teaser and a name this past Thursday, telling us to expect the full reveal at the event.
