Infinity Ward is developing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, set on the Korean Peninsula, with an October 23, 2026 release date across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Infinity Ward announced on May 22, 2026 that it is developing the next Call of Duty: Modern Warfare title. Studio heads Mark Griggsby and Jack Hart called it the definitive Modern Warfare in an interview video, describing it as a determined, bold, and relentless work. The studio created the original Modern Warfare in 2007.
Six days later, on May 29, Activision and Infinity Ward formally announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. The game is set on the Korean Peninsula, where a full-scale North Korean invasion triggers a global crisis. The campaign follows a young South Korean soldier named Park and his unit, while a parallel story follows Captain John Price, now a fugitive operating outside Task Force 141. The game will launch on October 23, 2026 on PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2, with no previous-generation console versions.
The multiplayer mode removes hip-fire bloom and introduces the Ballistic Authority system for more realistic weapon handling. A new dynamic map mode called Kill Block features over 500 layout patterns that change during matches. The extraction mode DMZ returns, with details to be revealed on June 7. Pre-orders are open, with a Vault Edition available at a discount for returning players.
