A trusted insider recently broke the internet with a revelation of crucial details related to this year’s full premium title.

Will the rebooted Call of Duty Modern Warfare series have a full trilogy from Activision in 2023?

Tom Henderson is a reputed industry insider and one of the most reliable scoopers on the internet. He recently dropped a piece of huge information, in his article published on Insider Gaming, regarding the “full premium” release this year.
