Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 reveal might happen soon. The game's developer, Infinity Ward, has adopted an all-black display picture on its Twitter account hinting at an announcement. It has also put a “darkened” image as the cover image on Twitter profile. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is set to be a sequel to the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare released in 2019. Activision Blizzard, the publisher of the game, says that a new engine will be powering the new game in the franchise. Meanwhile, COD Mobile will get the ‘Wild Dogs' season update soon.

The Twitter account of Infinity Ward has a black profile picture. It is speculated that the developer may soon delve out key information, or possibly reveal the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 game. Furthermore, the cover image of the developer's Twitter handle also teases Ghost character, as per a report by IGN. The developer made it quite obvious in one of its tweets in February that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is coming soon.

It is to be noted that using black-coloured profile pictures, commonly known as blackout stunt, has been one of the ways that companies, social media influencers, and top brands among others use to depict that something big is coming soon.

COD Mobile players will get multiple maps including Satellite, Khandor Hideout, and Ground War. As per the update highlights shared, sandstorms will randomly appear throughout Battle Royale throughout Season 4, and they will appear like a sand wall on the horizon. Players can use a throwable turbulence generator that generates an ongoing stream of turbulent wind to go in and out of the sandstorm.

There is a new themed event called Sandstorm's Eye in which the players have to “analyse the mission map and complete tasks to move through various nodes while collecting rewards along the way.” Furthermore, completing seasonal challenges allows players to earn rewards. These rewards include Kali Sticks, the Mil-Sim – Special Warfare – Crash Down skin, and the Epic RUS-79U – Vapor Painter SMG.
