Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be the first game in the series to see a release on a Nintendo platform in 13 years, since 2013’s Call of Duty: Ghosts on Wii U.
Launching elsewhere on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, Infinity Ward’s new title will only be released on current-generation systems – meaning it will be the first in the series since Ghosts to skip the PlayStation 4.
“War erupts on the Korean Peninsula as North Korea launches a full-scale invasion that threatens to destabilize the world,” reads a synopsis from the official Call of Duty website:
“A young squad of South Korean soldiers fight to survive on the collapsing front lines, while half a world away a vengeful Captain Price wages a personal war from the shadows as he stays one step ahead of those hunting him.”
As with previous entries, Modern Warfare 4 will feature three main modes: the campaign, multiplayer, and DMZ, an extraction-based mode that was first introduced in 2022’s Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0.
