Activision and Infinity Ward released a new trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and War zone, which introduces players to a new faction that is rolling out called the Shadow Company and reveals the release date for its upcoming fifth season. The Shadow Company comes from Modern Warfare 2 and will be available as a faction for both games.
“An elite PMC, Shadow Company operates outside the limits of the original Armistice,” says Infinity Ward in a blog post. “Forged from the fires of internal strife between the Coalition and Loyalty, Shadow Company has its own framework and agenda. Ostensibly Loyalty Operators who have been impatient with the progress of the Coalition under the command of Captain Price, Shadow Company is a dissident group formed without compromise, ready to take the war directly to Mr. Z and Verdansk and face terrorist threats directly. All experts in their field with formal military experience, this trio is poised to change the current Verdansk experience. “
Although there aren’t many confirmed details about Season 5, Infinity Ward has provided more information on the three new operators it will introduce to the games. The Shadow Company trio includes Rozlin “Roze” Helms (formerly Jackals), Velikan, and leader Marcus “Lerch” Ortega. Roze joins Shadow Company after migrating from the Allegiance Jackals faction. Velikan wears “full body armor for protection in battle and to hide his identity”, leaving little to confirm about the operator. Lastly, Lurch hails from Plano, Texas, and is known for “his enthusiasm and success in eliminating the enemy.”
Season 5 is speculated to introduce many more changes, including the possibility that War zone map as we know it will be destroyed. There was a recent provocation of the Call of Duty The Twitter identifier that hinted that the Stadium, which has remained one of the only inaccessible buildings on the map, may finally open. Many believe that players will finally be able to access the area, loot the location, and fight within it.
Check out the trailer above and play Season 5 when August 5 arrived.
