Call of Duty fans will return to the Modern Warfare saga on Friday, 23 October 2026, when Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches worldwide on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo Switch 2, Activision has confirmed in a detailed reveal of the game's campaign, multiplayer and DMZ extraction mode.
This is the first numbered Modern Warfare sequel since 2011's Modern Warfare 3, and it arrives as the long-running franchise tries to steady itself after years of annual releases and shifting settings. Infinity Ward is once again leading development, but this time it is leaning hard into a near‑future conflict on the Korean Peninsula and a more grounded, tactical style of multiplayer gunplay.
