Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be the next entry in the legendary first-person shooter franchise. With there always been a great deal of interest surrounding what exactly a new Call of Duty game will consist of, there are plenty of individuals paying close attention to what will be packed into Modern Warfare.

According to leaked information from a video by YouTuber TheGamingRevolution, the alleged battle royale game mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is currently set to be free-to-play when the full game releases on October 25th. 

The idea of a free-to-play battle royale is by no means a stretch of the imagination, as titles like Fortnite and Apex Legends have found a great deal of success being a free-to-play battle royale game. The reasoning for this success is that players are much more likely to download and try a game that is free to see if they enjoy it rather than spend the full price for a game they are not sure they will enjoy. This was seen as a major issue for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 and its battle royale mode of Blackout, as many players found it hard to spend the full price for a game when they could enjoy a free game like Fortnite. 

However, if the report by TheGamingRevolution comes to fruition, Activision saw this issue and is looking to draw in players with a free-to-play battle royale in hopes of selling them on the full product. 

Unfortunately, the community will not know for sure if Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will have a battle royale game mode or if it will be free-to-play until an official announcement is made.
