We are fast approaching the Beta phase of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, and the latest news shared directly by Asha Sharma, CEO of XBOX, reveal a decidedly rich picture for those who can't wait to get their hands on this new chapter of the saga. In fact, the trial offer promises to be particularly substantial, introducing for the first time ever elements never seen before in a period of testing of the franchise.

The Beta roadmap will officially kick off on August 21 with a first early access session reserved for those who have pre-ordered the game digitally, which will continue until August 25, and then reopen to everyone with the Open Beta scheduled from August 28 to September 1. Coinciding with the start of the first phase, the Call of Duty Next event will also be held, during which we will have an in-depth preview of the 6v6 gameplay, the Kill Block mode and the main innovations planned.

Among the most important elements stands out the inclusion of "Entrenched", a mission of the single player Campaign, marking a historic debut for a Beta of the series. During the second weekend, we will also be able to field test Zodiac, the new Resurgence map developed for Call of Duty: Warzone. The content framework will be completed by a rich selection of 6v6 multiplayer maps such as Rooftops, Silkworm, Transit 213, Cachette, Lotus and Lithium, as well as scenarios for the Ground War such as Combat Outpost, Imjin Farmland and Wolves Stadium, flanked by several classic and new modes that we will be able to face in first person.

Finally, the RICOCHET Anti-Cheat team is already hard at work to ensure a fair and fun gaming experience for the entire community. For this reason, anyone who decides to take part in the PC trial will have to activate the TPM 2.0 (Trusted Platform Module) and Secure Boot security features on their system, so as to prevent incorrect behavior from day one.

To accompany this information we find a new trailer dedicated to the Beta: here it is below!
