Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is a first-person shooter developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, the annual flagship entry in the Modern Warfare timeline scheduled for release on October 23, 2026 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. The campaign returns to the Modern Warfare continuity's sprawling geopolitical picture, following the coalition forces of Task Force 141 and their allied special-operations partners through a new global conflict. Gameplay carries forward the signature Modern Warfare blend of grounded, kinetic gunplay, the detailed Gunsmith weapon-customization suite, tactical-leaning multiplayer, and a persistent progression of operators, weapons, and killstreaks. It is positioned as the year's competitive shooter centerpiece, with a full multiplayer suite alongside the campaign.
Key Systems
- Tac Sprint & Slide Movement — The Modern Warfare movement suite returns with tactical sprinting, slide-canceling, mantle/vault traversal, and aggressive rotary positioning that underpins the fast gunplay loop.
- Gunsmith Weapon Customization — Deep attachment-based loadout building lets players tune barrels, muzzles, optics, and underbarrels across weapon platforms, with gunsmith variants carrying over the franchise's extensive tuning.
- Operators & Progression — A roster of playable operators with faction-specific skins and voice lines, plus weapon-leveling, camo challenges, and seasonal battle-pass progression that drives the long-term content loop.
- Killstreaks & Scorestreaks — Loadout-selected aerial and tactical support streaks (UAV, missile and chopper-based strikes) reward sustained performance in multiplayer.
- Modern Warfare Timeline — The campaign continues the reboot-era Modern Warfare storyline, following Special Ops coalition forces across a global theater of conflict alongside the iconic Task Force 141 characters.
