In particular, the part where Captain Price, the main protagonist of the series, performs a mission with the characters drawn from the ending of the previous work, was enough to attract people’s attention.
The single campaign ‘Dark Water’, which was released on the 10th, aroused the will to purchase by showing homage to the past series and the latest work, such as graphics, environment expression, and sense of impact that have been changed with the new game engine.
Modern Warfare II is scheduled to release on October 28th. It remains to be seen whether this work will create a new box office success following the previous work.
