Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Takes Piccadilly and Times Square By Storm

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Takes Piccadilly and Times Square By Storm
Published: October 27, 2022

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, the latest on Activision/Blizzard’s behemoth series of first-person shooters, will be arriving soon on PC and consoles!

That’s something anyone strolling along Piccadilly Circus or Times Square probably already knows, as the game has taken over the ad displays in both iconic destinations.

The advertisements take full advantage of the display’s curvature and dimension which allow for 3D ads.

The ad on Piccadilly Circus presents a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II character breaking through glass to turn off the lights, while the Times Squares version depicts the same character controlling a drone.

Both ads end the same, showing one of the game’s main characters, Ghost, putting on his night googles. 

A few weeks ago, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II was also highlighted by an official video featuring Lil Baby, Nicki Minaj and Pete Davidson, asking players to “Squad Up”. 

The previous Modern Warfare game, released in 2019, secured over a billion dollars in a month of sales, and the sequel is set to be one of 2022’s bestselling games.

Up for a fun fact? Piccadilly Circus and the Piccadilly Lights display were featured in one of Modern Warfare’s levels, during a terrorist attack on London’s streets.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, will be arriving on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S on October 28.
