An upcomingPlayStation 5console bundle appears to be confirmed during a recentCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3trailer. Arriving on November 10,Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3is one of the year’s most highly anticipated releases. Sony seems to be planning to capitalize on that excitement, pairing the upcoming shooter with aPS5console bundle that will launch alongside the game. A full reveal of the PS5 bundle has yet to be made, but will likely be coming soon.
PlayStation and Activision Blizzard have a longstanding relationship surrounding theCall of Dutyfranchise. That continues to be in effect with the upcoming release ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The tradition of a PlayStation-exclusive beta has already returned, ending this past Tuesday. But there’s still plenty ofPlayStation-exclusive content planned forModern Warfare 3players on PS5, too. That includes a new Operator exclusive for pre-orderers on PlayStation consoles.
Confirmation of theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3PS5 bundle came from a surprising official source. Sony published themost recentCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3traileron its YouTube account with official PlayStation logos and platform release information at the start and end. The information at the end mentioned the pre-order exclusive Operator pack and in the fine print, it says, “also available inCall of Duty: MWIIIPS5 Console Bundle.”
Given the awkward way the PS5 bundle forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3appears to have been confirmed, there’s no further information available about the product. It’s unclear if the bundle will feature a disc-based PS5 or a digital-only console. It’s unclear if it will be the standard PS5 or thenew slim PS5 model that also arrives in November. Pricing also isn’t available, though it very likely will combine both the PS5 andCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3retail prices without a discount.
By no means is confirmation of aCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3PS5 bundle a surprise, even though it has yet to be formally announced. PS5 bundles for annualCall of Dutygames are common. ThePS5 bundle forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2remains available at most major retailers.
A proper unveiling of theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3PS5 bundle should be expected soon. It’s likely just a matter of waiting for retailers to prepare for a wave of pre-orders. WithCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3just a month away from its November 10 launch, there’s not much time to spare. PlayStation will likely also want this to be a big deal, as it may be the lastCall of DutyPS5console bundle consideringActivision Blizzard’s acquisition by Microsoftwill likely close soon.
