Activision has confirmed another incentive for players planning to jump into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 at launch. Those who pre-order the game will be able to access its single-player campaign ahead of the full release.
According to the announcement, players who pre-purchase Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be able to start playing the campaign on October 16, giving them an early opportunity to experience the story before the rest of the game becomes available.
Early campaign access has become an increasingly common feature for recent Call of Duty releases, allowing players to dive into the narrative several days before multiplayer servers officially open. It also gives fans the chance to complete the story before shifting their focus to online modes at launch.
While Activision has yet to reveal exactly how much earlier the campaign will be available compared to the full release, the confirmed October 16 access date means pre-order customers will get a head start on the game’s single-player experience.
Additional details about multiplayer, Zombies or other launch content are expected to be shared closer to release, but for campaign fans, pre-ordering the game will once again unlock early access to the story.
Is early access limited to the campaign?
Yes. The announcement specifically refers to early access for the game’s single-player story mode.
Will multiplayer also be available on October 16?
No official confirmation has been provided regarding multiplayer early access in this announcement.
