Modern Warfare 4 Arrives Oct. 23 on PS5, Series X|S, PC, Switch 2

Infinity Ward and publisher Activision announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will ship on October 23, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Nintendo’s Switch 2. The studio confirmed there will be no versions for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One.

The game sets its single-player campaign on the Korean Peninsula. Players will follow Private Park, a young South Korean soldier who faces combat for the first time after North Korea launches a full-scale invasion. The studio described sequences that move from routine patrols into urban combat and large-scale counteroffensives. Longtime franchise character Captain Price returns as an operator-turned-outlaw whose pursuit of revenge leads to a weapon that escalates the conflict.

Multiplayer will be available at launch with what Infinity Ward called 12 Core launch maps and the series’ standard weapons, gadgets and modes. The extraction mode DMZ will return in place of the traditional Zombies mode for this entry.

Infinity Ward introduced a new weapons framework named Ballistic Authority. The studio said the system aligns bullet trajectory, weapon motion, operator stance, camera, audio, field of view and target visibility to provide more precise gunplay. The developer summarized the intent with the line: “no bloom, no guesswork, and no doubt.”

The studio framed the Korea setting as the starting point for a broader international conflict and said players will encounter new and returning characters as the campaign expands. More details and footage are planned in the coming weeks, including at the Xbox Games Showcase.

Modern Warfare 4 continues Infinity Ward’s approach of developing for current-generation consoles and PC while adopting new technical features for weapons and combat fidelity.
