Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Narrative Director Says There's A Lot Left For Sequels
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's campaign may have been one of its best elements, elevated above its online multiplayer and other modes for many players of the game. Fortunately for many, the game's narrative director has hinted that there's a lot of room left over plot-wise for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's sequels.
In an exchange on Twitter between user Spartacus and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare narrative director Taylor Kurosaki, Spartacus expressed concern over the idea that the content being added to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's multiplayer might be somewhat spoiler-y or revealing of the sequel's plot. In response, Kurosaki assured Spartacus that there is still excess room left for surprise in the sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The exchange can be seen below.
The "characters and story" that Spartacus is referring to is somewhat vague. There is a playable rendition of Ghost in the game's multiplayer, who wears a mask bearing the face of a skull. Furthermore, it appears that Season 3 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's Battle Pass will be bringing back game protagonist "Alex." The trailer appears to show that "Alex" now has a prosthetic leg following the events of the game's campaign which saw Alex officially sacrifice his own life to bring down the enemy.
Given Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's ending, it seemed fairly clear that Alex would be making a return, though it is fairly assured given his presence in Season 3 of the game's DLC. However, there is apparently far more to be shown according to Kurosaki.
The events that occurred in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare do point in a particular direction for the plotline of the sequels. The mentioning of the Zakhaev family and Al-Asad both indicate that the sequel may be heading in the direction of 2007's Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. However, as Kurosaki points out, the sequels can head in any number of directions.
While Call of Duty: Warzone and Modern Warfare's multiplayer is still highly trafficked, a remaster of 2009's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released recently. While not the highlight of the original, the game's campaign was the central focus of the remaster and may serve as a refresher for fans of the sub-series.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
