On Friday, theActivisionstudio ‘went dark’ onsocial media, changing its profile pics and header images to what initially appears to be complete darkness.

Activisionconfirmedthat this year’s Call of Duty sequel would be a Modern Warfare sequel earlier this year, following several reports on the project.
As first reported by VGC,Modern Warfare 2’s campaignwill be centred around the drug war against Columbian cartels.
Sources said the single-player story is “a grittier take on Modern Warfare 2019’s campaign”, with more close-quarters combat, tricky decision making, and the classic Call of Duty set-piece moments fans have come to expect.
According to people with knowledge of the developer’s plans, Modern Warfare 2 will release alongside a brand new map forWarzone: the third such all-new arena to be launched for the battle royale spin-off.
