 Rumored footage of Iron Wolf was first shown as early at the E3 Exposition.

There is no taped footage of that day, but visitors and fans claim that there are multiple big changes in Iron Wolf. One of that changes, revealed by a reviewer at E3, was the more cinematic storyline and gameplay.

Wartech 3.0 lifted animations to a whole new level. These animations are interactable, which was rare in Warzone. Also in multiplayer, the animations are much more adapted, giving the gameplay a more tactical atmospher and dynamic maps. The dynamics maps are destructable by player's actions or is scripted for a special time, mostly varying in a . This destructions may block or create access to certain locations of a map. The enivornments of map are also more adapted to gameplay. For exemple, the returning shoot and slide ability is higher in maps with rain or foggy surrounding, making the ground slippery. But also the wind in certain maps affect the steadiness of weapons.

The offical reveal trailer is shown, showing that the story also takes place in 2033 in a post-apocalyptic world. This is the first officially revealed and confirmed footage by Activision, of Iron Wolf yet. The footage shows a small squad of soldiers and a dog walking through multiple areas and environments, showing the quality and finesse of Wartech 3.0. The story will have a part in 2023, but the characters and locations stay classified until newer trailers are announced. The dog will be the first animal that appears as a main character in any DECA game ever. The team in 2033 try to discover what the *"Iron Wolf"* was, while the goal of the characters in 2023 stays unknown. The soldiers in 2033 use the latest technology like invisibilty cloaks and smart glass, but also use older firearms. These circumstances will be explained during the plot.

The Live action Gameplay trailer of Iron Wolf is shown, revealing the character Calvin Silex and other caracters. There's also footage of a mission, which real name is still unknown, called: Walking through Caracas . The video shows also the M4A1 for first time in action, confirming the rumours. After the gameplay, performed by Danny Verhoeven, there's a behind the stage footage about the creation of Iron Wolf.

Numerous leaked fake footage has been shown in the meantime, but an official Warzone-related photo of some designs for multiplayer maps suggest next map designs. On those pictures can been seen a devastated skyscraper city, a nuclear vault compound, a overgrown construction area and maybe the most interresting one, there's a soldier swimming underwater with what looks like a APS Amphibious rifle. It is not known whether indeed this is a multiplayer shot or a campaign shot that is declassified by the developers, but the features of Wartech 3.0 suggest that this is a multiplayer feature.

The last days are screenshots of multiple weapons and gamecodes shown, revealing most of the weapons of Iron Wolf. The M4A1 SOPMOD and the Mk14 were already shown in the gameplay reveal, but some weapons of the Venezuelan Army look like their placeholders. The gamecodes reveal this, as almost none of those weapons return in those codes.

> When playing Warzone, you're limited to command yourself. We wanted to make your player command your teammates and dog in a realistic way instead of playing them. You aren't only shooting bad guys, you're fighting against all odds. Tactics are more important now.
>
> Alec Verdoorn, about the singleplayer gameplay during the behind the scene interview.

During the behind the scene-interview with the members of project: Iron Wolf, Alec Verdoorn revealed some gameplay elements that will be unique to Iron Wolf. Squad commanding and dynamic breaches return, only different. The controls will be more tactical, giving the player more options to command. Also the game is not only about shooting, but the tactical part will presents itself as a new important addition. As the underdog against the enemy, you need to be more stealthy or less reckless. Not that that all will disappear, but tactics are added. The dog is not playable, or contollable in first-person view. However, the dog is an important part of completing objectives and the player is able to direct the dog with multiple signs, special to a dog. Like whistle, snapping with your fingers and pointing.

On the 22th of June, on the youtube channel of Warzone, a twenty second video containing a black screen and a man talking. The man who's talking is Mark Strong, who voiced Charles "Spike" Thompson in Warzone, and he says: "One day, we all come back home, the place where you feel safe, even though, it's gone... Good to see you back.". The last sentence is hard to understand, as it sounds like a crackling sound. This suggests that Spike will return in Iron Wolf and will have contact with Saint or another protagonist/antagonist.

## Plot

The story takes place mainly in 2033, although some sequences take place in 2023. The story focuses on the Silent War. The main protagonist, Calvin "Saint" Silex is the newest member of a Predator team with leader John "Cardinal" Fowler, marksman Evan "Prophet" Demarco, autorifleman Mike "Deuce" Fisher and enginner Colin "Seraph" Barrett.

The story starts with Calvin "Saint" Silex returning to his own hometown to secure codename: Patriot, a man who has information on the mysterious Typhoon. Patriot is actually Charlie "Spike" Thompson who is secured before mysterious foes attack. Saint, accompanied by his loyal dog Kevin and Spike escape Indiana. Spike was a father figure to Saint after his own father was killed during their time in the 121.

At the Predator's main garrison in Fort Bragg, Saint questions on how the mysterious Typhoon had rose to power. Spike reveals that he led a Task Force 121 operation in Valetta, Malta to capture or eliminate a rogue CIA contact known as "Sagitarrio" After eliminating the security personnel with the aid of fellow operatives, Psycho, Wrecker and Ravage. However it is compromised when Maltese troops are en route to the fight, causing Spike to head after Sagitarrio himself. Sagitarrio appears and overpowers him. In the conflict, his OPSAT is out of reach, prompting emergencies and the orbiting Reaper drone to fire missiles upon the compound. Ravage attempts to abort the launch, but is unsuccessful. Spike manages to escape, but runs into a little girl. Despite numerous protests to abort the missile strike, the building explodes, presumably killing Sagitarrio and the daughter.

While waiting for extraction, Saint tells Spike why the Predators headed to a missile facility in the Brazilian Amazon. They hoped to find some answers as well as Typhoon's motives. After finding a missile vault, but no launching capabilities, the team continues to search and eventually plans to bring the facility down using explosives. During the fight, Typhoon manages to escape with some missiles. The Predators escape after a close call with a helicopter and zipline away into the jungle. Although the missiles were lost, Seraph manages to track one to Caracas.

With the help of a local militia, the Predators manage to enter Caracas and search for the missile. During the search, the Venezuelan army detonates the "Black site" after the Typhoon supreme commander demadns to do so. By the explosion, the dam is demolished and the city is flooded. The Predators are split up and Saint, alongside Deuce, manage to escape from Venezuelan soldiers by a using an hijacked zodiac and the Predators are extracted via air.

Spike returns with Saint to the Predator's main base of operations where he retells on how Typhoon had been responsible for America's lockdown. The organization attacked a black site in force which would be fended off thanks to the efforts of the 121. However, they manage to escape stealing India Whiskey 142, a highly classified file stored at the site.

India Whiskey 142 is the codename for a WMD constructed in deep secrecy, following the events of World War III. The US government invested countless dollars for a first strike weapon, although its capabilities are still a mystery for the team.

Back in 2033, Spike tells the Predators that he has a contact who was imprisoned by Typhoon a decade ago. He found out that he was being held in the Bahamas. His contact has intel on Typhoon and possibly the whereabouts of Sagitarrio. The Predators and the US Navy launch an assault on the Typhoon-held Bahamas, breaching the prison and rescuing their target. Their escape is hastily impeded by a counter-attack and a hurricane. Saint and Cardinal manage to man missile batteries and hold them off long enough for Typhoon to retreat.

With the target, identified as Wrecker, secured, the Predators ask Spike how it lead to the events that occured. Spike tells the group that he and his squad conducted a black flag operation at JFK station trying to abort the launch of a rocket with unknown payload, presumably for India Whiskey. They didn't manage to halt the launch and Spike ended saying that they couldn't do anything about it after that.

With new intel gained from Wrecker, the Predators tie up some loose ends and split up to track down a girl where Parker has a mad for. Saint, Prophet and Deuce head for Dubai to verify if the intel is any good. They do manage to confirm that the intel was solid, but once they find out the building was rigged, they make it out just in time. Saint manages to find the girl Parker was looking for and they return to carrier.

Meanwhile, Spike, Cardinal and Seraph are stationed in China to assassinate Parker. They find Parker on a train and assault his position, but they can't reach him. The mission fails after the wagon with Parker spits off and Cardinal is shot by a loose shot of Spike, which was meant for Parker. Having no recon team on standby, the team is forced to leave Cardinal behind, even though they don't know if he is dead or not.

With one member short, the Predators continue the hunt with the sabotage of a drill facility in the arctic region. The first pahse goes well, but when immediate extraction fails, a submarine destroys the ice layer and almost drowns the Predators, before unleashing his payload into the air.

In the created confusion, Spike tells the complete story of the raid on Iron Wolf station and the destruction of America. Having hijacked the rocket, Spike, Psycho and Wrecker try to hold off the use of superweapon Iron Wolf, a kinetic orbital WMD. Psycho is killed in progress and the launch can't be aborted. Spike decides to bury all trails to it, but Wrecker sacrifices himself to let Spike escape.

With the Predators still be stranded on the north pole, they track down the Storm's Eye, the plane responsible for carrying Parker. With the help of stolen SAM missiles and a hijacked jet piloted by Saint, the team defend their position and go after the Storm's Eye. Saint takes down the Storm's Eye and kills the Typhoon commender. He finds the launch controls of a nw Iron Wolf strike, which means they have prevented the second launch of it.

With vengeance still calling, Spike and Predators go dark and head for Washington DC, to finish the fight and kill Parker. Leaving a trail behind for Parker to find, the team set themselves up in the White House to ambush Parker and his forces. Seraph is wounded in progress and Saint wanders off alone, finding Parker. He gets hit by a hidden gun, but manages to wound Parker who then flees away. Saint is found by Prophet and Deuce, who take him away, while telling him it's over.

On the other side of the White House is Spike, who travels through the secret tunnel to outside. He reports himself to be KIA, as he finds Parker sitting outside. They trade some words and Spike confronts Parker with the truth. Parker demands to be killed, but Spike refuses. Enraged, Parker goes into a fistfight with Spike, who needs to shoot himself in the shoulder to takedown Parker and kill him. While realizing what just happenned, Spike lays himself down to rest, while he slowly whites out.

> A story can be told in so many ways. Films, books or videogames all have their advantages and disadvantages to tell it. So why limit it to only one way instead of multiple ones.
>
> Xavier Austal, head writer of Iron Wolf: Havoc during the behind the scene interview.

A prequel to the story is announced, called Iron Wolf: Havoc. it is a short film and serves as a prequel to the game, depicting an earlier mission prior to the story. The film is being directed and written by Xavier Austal. The story takes place in multiple countries, including the USA, Malaysia and Kuwait.

### Intelligence

Intelligence returns in Iron Wolf, with up to 18 collectible datapads in the campaign. Finding a datapad can unlock classified information ranging from different Predator operatives to many hidden aspects of the story.

## Multiplayer

The multiplayer has been redesigned and made unique with the powers of the engine. The gameplay will feature a more squad-like feeling and introduces many new gamemodes and customization options. The multiplayer will take place before, during and after the events of the singleplayer.

Most of the multiplayer maps have dynamic features. Exemples of this are a massive hurricane which changes the map with floods and crashed vehicles or when a submarine emerges from an arctic ice layer. Other features are player driven by teh use of explosive or destroyed killstreaks. When a chopper is shot down, it will crash somewhere on the map, destroying houses or blocking roads.

A new gameplay mechanic called Gunmaster is introduced. It changes up the gameplay with some minor changes to weapon performance and can give or lose the edge on gunfights. Iron Wolf also features a wider variety of weapons, compared to Warzone.

### Contracts

Contracts is a new multiplayer feature in Iron Wolf. Contracts are objectives which can be completed in multiplayer matches. Contracts exists of objectives, which can vary from getting 100 kills with a certain weapon with certain attachements or to capture an objective as certain amount with a piece of equipment.

Contracts are difficult and thoughtfull objectives. They help the player get experience kills because each contract has pros and cons working against the player. For exemple, a mission contains getting enough kills with a sidearm with an AGOC scope and dual wielded. This means that the player has to give up points for perks and need to use a wildcard for extra attachements, meaning he can't use those things so he can learn how to play without them. It essentailly brings player from zero skill to advance skills or to start all over again to learn new tactics and skills.

## Battlezone 24/7

Battlezone 24/7 returns to Warzone: Iron Wolf. However, the goals and locations have been changed, creating the most intense and realistic gameplay created by Wartech yet. The matches take place after the singleplayer events and taeks place in a new world domination war. The battlezone matches are taking place in most of the big cities on earth, aswell certain area's, and only one match per area worldwide. This is because each squad in the battlezone gets a different objective to do in the match, different to Warzone where the players had one goal. After a squad fails/completes a task, they'll move on to a new task and their wins/loses are counted. After one side wins the battle, they get points on the worldwide ranking as that country and the points stay declassified, until the designers releases the final ranking and then it's decided who won the whole war. The designers claim that this war can take more than a year, as the matches don't know a fast forward and are counted by real daytime, starting on the day of the release and counts every second.

## Gunmaster

Main article: Gunmaster

**Gunmaster** is a new and Iron Wolf exclusive-feature, accessable on PC and mobile devices powered by Android and iOS. Gunmaster is a mode special for testing weapons and making statistic tests easier for people contributing on youtube for weapon stats videos.

You can test the weapon in a firing range, with multiple spots for certain engagements. Exemples are long and short range target shooting, draw time, reload time, mobility and more. The statistics are shown on walls and boards and are extremly precise to 3 numbers behind the point. Last, you can perform quick reaction force missions, comparable with spec ops. In QRF, the stats of the weapons will be displayed on the walls the same as in the firing range. However, the numbers can change under certain elements, such as heavy fire and natural obstacles. QRF takes place in multplayer maps, with singleplayer elements. The enemies are bots and the player can co-operate with friends in a squad. Squad options and marking will be featured, which were not in the firing range.

QRF isn't present on the mobile devices. However, the QRF is replaced with commander mode in the mobile devices. With commander mode, you can help and direct your squad in QRF.

The player can compare and calculate all collected data on iOS and Android platforms exclusively. By the outcoms, the player can expect certain gun variables. Warzone: Iron Wolf features a new system where a rifle has more recoil, handling speed and trigger reaction. These can depend how secure the chance is that the gun works like it is descriped to do. How lower your K/D and match performance is, how more secure the gun is. Gun secureness is counted in killtime in frames per second.
