During the proceedings of the FTC vs. Microsoft case on Thursday, Federal Judge Jacqueline Scott Corley, who is overseeing the matter, disclosed that the upcoming Call of Duty game for 2023 is expected to be released in November of this year.
Understandably to most Call of Duty fans, Call of Duty releasing in November shouldn’t come as a surprise. However, the apparent slip up by Judge Corley prompted the official Call of Duty Twitter account to comment on the ‘leak’. Taking to Twitter, the account posted an eyes emoji soon after the judges comments, leading fans to believe that the release month is accurate.
Reputable website Insider Gaming revealed earlier this year that this year’s Call of Duty game will be called Modern Warfare 3 and will release on November 10. The website also weighed in on the games reveal date, which is apparently set for the beginning of August.
According to the website, Call of Duty 2023’s dates are as follows:
Call of Duty 2023 Key Dates
- Beta weekend 1 (PS4/PS5) – October 6, 2023 – October 10, 2023

While the official details of Call of Duty 2023 remains uncertain, there have been widespread reports indicating that the game will serve as a direct follow-up to Modern Warfare 2. Notably, Jason Schreier of Bloomberg has previously disclosed that Sledgehammer Games will be responsible for its development.
