Gamescom 2023’s Opening Night Live had promised a lineup comprising some of the biggest names in the gaming industry. They did not disappoint.

Activision released the first official gameplay for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III at Gamescom’s Opening Night Live. The new footage, 9 minutes in length, is in-game footage of the opening mission of the title that is set right after the explosive events of Modern Warfare II’s campaign mode.

The new gameplay trailer shows the player, in first person POV, navigating through the ocean with gear that seems quite advanced. They use grappling hooks to scale the walls of the fortress-like Zordaya prison complex.

The overall ambiance the video sets is dark and moody, almost too dark sometimes. This adds to the thrill of shooting at enemies in the dark, along with snappier guns and a more intuitive laser sight.

This will be the first Call of Duty title set right after the events of its predecessor, i.e., Modern Warfare II.
