Lock and load: “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4” has been unveiled as the next mainline game in the Microsoft-owned Activision’s massive war-game franchise.
Per the official description for the game, “Set against a rapidly escalating global conflict centered on the Korean Peninsula, ‘Modern Warfare 4’ pushes the series into darker and more dangerous territory as a full-scale invasion of South Korea threatens to destabilize the world.”
Developed by Infinity Ward, “Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4” will launch Oct. 23 across Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 5 and PC via Battle.net, Xbox on PC, Steam, and even Nintendo Switch 2 — marking the first time in more than a decade that a new “Call of Duty” game has been on a Nintendo platform.
Xbox revealed a first look at the game in the “Modern Warfare 4” trailer Thursday, teasing the three planned modes of play: Campaign, Multiplayer and DMZ.
In the main story campaign set in the Korean Peninsula, Private Park, a young Korean grunt soldier, is thrust into combat for the first time, as he and his squad are forced to overcome impossible odds in a gripping zero to hero journey. “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare” vet Captain Price will return to form a rogue alliance, operating outside the system and apart from the Task Force 141 team he once called his own.
