How to join the MW3 Reveal Event

The details of the upcoming Shadow Siege event are unknown, but it will take place in the Zaya Observatory area of Warzone. It has been hinted that the event will involve a transition from an air battle to a ground assault, but no real details have been revealed.

To participate in the MW3 Reveal event:

  1. Download the latest patch for MW2
  2. Download the latest patch for Warzone Season 4
  3. Go to Warzone
  4. Look for the playlist – Shadow Siege in Warzone
    • There is no specific mode, it will be waiting for you.

Aside from this, Activision has also revealed that Shadow Siege participants will be able to obtain complimentary items for Warzone and MW3. It’s a good idea to participate if you want rewards. On your gaming console or PC, you can launch the Call of Duty HW app to view the details of the event on the main menu.

What will we find out in the MW3 Reveal Event?

This is kind of like a reveal trailer for the newest iteration of Modern Warfare III and in turn a release date for Call of Duty Warzone. We should see beta dates, event rewards, limited-time event information, and special rewards for those who buy certain editions.

Obviously, we will find out what Sledgehammer games has been up to and what this Shadow Siege limited-time event really is. Will the ranks of Shadow Company really live up to what the official Call of Duty blog says? The only way to know is to join this event in Modern Warfare II (MW2) and get the exclusive rewards that come with it. Based on the intel, we’ll be taking care of a chemical weapon threat and join shadow forces in Operation Shadow Siege to save the day.

The event is open to anyone on PlayStation consoles, Microsoft consoles, or any platform that can run Modern Warfare 2.
