Activision and developer Infinity Ward have released Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, bringing the annualized first-person shooter franchise back to its Modern Warfare setting after back-to-back Black Ops entries. Released on October 23, 2026, the game is available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and Nintendo Switch 2. The standard edition costs $69, £69, or AU$109, while a digital extras-packed Vault Edition is listed at $99. [2]
The new entry features three primary modes: a single-player campaign, multiplayer, and an extraction-based DMZ mode. The campaign splits between Captain Price's timeline and a squad storyline featuring Park Hyun Jun amid a Korean invasion, alongside a standout open-ended mission dubbed Stranded. According to Tom's Guide, the gameplay introduces a slightly longer time-to-kill that enables more tactical firefights. Meanwhile, composer Jason Graves told TechRadar Gaming that he avoided referencing previous franchise scores, instead building a bespoke multiplayer soundtrack with creative guidance from Infinity Ward audio director Stephen Miller and music lead Jonathan Mayer.

Infinity Ward is back at the helm of another Call of Duty game, and while Modern Warfare 4 is not perfect, the developer reminded me how much fun a modern first-person shooter can be.
