When it launches later this year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be a “soft reboot” of the Modern Warfare series. What this means in practice remains somewhat unclear for the game’s plot. One thing that it means, at least for the cast of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare characters is that Captain Price, a key character from previous games, will reappear as a main character in the new game. However, it has now been confirmed that Price will not be the only familiar face fans will see in the game.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Characters – Who’s Coming Back
It has previously been revealed that a second character, John ‘Soap’ McTavish, would also return in the new game. However, new details about the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare characters have now emerged from Studio Narrative Director Taylor Kurasaki. Responding on Twitter to a question about whether other characters would return to the game, he said simply; “Yep.”
Of course, it remains unknown who exactly will be returning to the series in Modern Warfare. Interestingly, it was recently noticed that the Call of Duty page on McFarlane Toys’ Amazon page includes one action figure that remains ‘To Be Announced’; suggesting that Activision or Infinity Ward may be planning to reveal some character details prior to the game’s release. The studio’s next big reveal will be the multiplayer reveal event on the 1st of August. However, that will leave them with a few more months to make announcements or release details prior to the game’s launch date; the 25th of October.
For now, fans can only speculate about who might be returning in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. With three games to draw characters from, there’s certainly plenty of possibilities. Of course, it’s also possible that characters may get something of a redesign for the upcoming game. After all, Modern Warfare has a totally new plot and more modern setting. As such, certain characters may no longer feel as relevant without giving them a rework of some sort.
