Activision has yet to announce a battle royale mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but comments by a developer at Infinity Ward certainly suggest such a thing is coming.
Game Informer’s Ben Hanson sat down with Infinity Ward’s studio art director Joel Emslie to ask 129 rapid fire questions about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and one of them was about battle royale.
Here’s the exchange (skip to the three minutes mark):
Hanson: Will there be a battle royale mode in this game?
Emslie: [Pause] We’ll have to wait and see.
Hanson: Would you like there to be a battle royale mode in this game?
Emslie: I personally like that game mode.
There’s a smirk on Emslie’s face throughout – no needle here. And it’s not hard to read between the lines.
