Could the teaser be hinting at Warzone’s future?

A homing strike of sorts would definitely be one way to bring about drastic map changes. Maybe an airstrike targets the Dam and washes away old sections of the Verdansk map… only time will tell.

What could it mean for Modern Warfare Season 4?

Players have already been privy to upcoming weapons in Modern Warfare’s next season, but each update brings about much more than that. From new maps to Operators, this teaser could be hinting at Season 4’s narrative direction.

Season 3’s cinematic united Ghost and Alex as they recapture Rust from enemy forces. Infinity Ward could be teasing the introduction of another playable character with this line of text.
