Call of Duty’s DMZ mode is back in Modern Warfare 4, and the landscape of extraction shooters has changed quite a bit since the franchise’s first try at it four years ago.
Since the DMZ beta in 2022’s Modern Warfare II, extraction shooters have become all the rage. Escape From Tarkov may have started the craze, but games like ARC Raiders and Marathon have furthered it. The Hunt: Showdown, Gray Zone Warfare, and Delta Force are some others that have widened the genre into something big since DMZ last got updated.
Last month, I visited Infinity Ward to learn about MW4 and even played some of its multiplayer modes early. While we didn’t get to play the newest version of DMZ, we did see a presentation about it, and I got to speak to some developers about what to expect from it. And honestly, it’s sounding pretty sick.
