Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be released on October 23, 2026. This iteration, developed by Infinity Ward, features a new single-player campaign and various multiplayer modes, including the return of DMZ. Notably, this release will be the first for the franchise on a Nintendo console since 2013's Ghosts, and it will not support older platforms like PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, ending a 13-year tradition. Rob Keyes from ScreenRant praised the game for its focus on realism and responsiveness, comparing its presentation to the significant advancements seen in Modern Warfare (2019). Jack O'Hara, Co-Studio Head at Infinity Ward, emphasized their commitment to creating authentic characters and delivering top-tier visuals. As the release date approaches, more details about the game are expected from Activision.
