Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is likely to be released this year, according to a recent copyright claim made by the company. The confirmation surfaced following a Twitter post by BobNetworkUK, where he shared images of the warning he received from Twitter for sharing images from the yet-unreleased game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.

It wasn't specifically clear which images were shared, but it's thought to be early alpha images of the game. This aligns with the ongoing rumors around the release of Modern Warfare 3 for a while now. It's anticipated that more official announcements will come soon.

The development of the game is reportedly being managed by Sledgehammer Games and it's also rumored that Terminal and Scrapyard from the original Modern Warfare 2 will be included in the new game. Despite Activision's ongoing efforts, it hasn't been able to quell the rumor mill. Last week, news also emerged that a new Call of Duty: Black Ops is likely to come out in 2024.
