We've had a go at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's multiplayer, tried out its new corner-mounting mechanic, and seen a more deliberate take on the Call of Duty formula. But the question remains—will this Call of Duty have a battle royale mode, as well as the regular multiplayer?

Interest in the battle royale genre does seem to be slowing.

Black Ops 4 introduced a battle royale mode called Blackout to the series, but Cecot described the latest entry in the series as being quite different. "We really focused on Modern Warfare, authentic and gritty, realistic weapons, and it’s a different experience. It's really...just about pulling back to Modern Warfare and keeping that pure," he said.

Here's everything we know about the Modern Warfare reboot so far.
