Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has leaked once more and Activision is officially in on the joke.

As reported by MP1st, the reveal date, weapons, and key art of 2023's Call of Duty have reportedly leaked and Activision has tweeted its own "key art" in response.

"Jokes on you, real key art here," the tweet said (below), alongside a Microsoft paint drawing of a Call of Duty cover. "We'll share our artistic abilities and even more next week."

The full reveal date is reportedly August 17, though the "next week" suggestion from the official Call of Duty account suggests at least a tease will be coming earlier. One key art image for the game, which appeared on Imgur, shows a spooky skull with a snake going through it while another shows Captain Price.

A list of weapons also appeared through a datamine, which includes the Bushmaster ACR in 5.56 assault rifle, Heckler & Koch SL8 marksman rifle, Glock 21 pistol, Uzi Pro submachine gun, SVCh sniper rifle, and more. The long-range acoustic device killstreak was also leaked alongside an AeroVironment Switchblade.

Though leaks have already shown plenty of the game already, the official reveal of Modern Warfare 3 is set to happen within battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone. “Drop into Call of Duty: Warzone to experience the worldwide reveal for Call of Duty 2023 in a limited-time event,” Activision said in July.
