Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches October 23 with Campaign, Multiplayer, and DMZ

Infinity Ward has officially announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, launching October 23 on PlayStation 5. The game ships with a full single-player Campaign, Multiplayer, and the return of DMZ extraction mode — all available on day one.

The Campaign follows Private Park, a young South Korean soldier thrown into live combat for the first time, while Captain Price returns as an outlaw operating outside the system, chasing revenge and a weapon capable of shifting the global balance of power. Missions span trench warfare in Korea, close-quarters fighting in New York, high-speed chases through Paris, and SAS night raids in Mumbai. Multiplayer launches with 12 core 6v6 maps, dedicated Gunfight maps, and large-scale Big War maps built for combined vehicle and infantry combat. A brand-new mode called Kill Block drops on day one as well — set inside a live-fire training facility where the map itself reconfigures between rounds, reshuffling routes and sightlines. The headline tech feature is Ballistic Authority, a new weapon-first system that ties together precision aiming, physical weapon handling, realistic audio propagation, visibility, and combat perception into one unified fidelity stack. The studio's pitch: no bloom, no guesswork, every shot tells the truth. DMZ returns as a full extraction experience for solo players and squads — loot, fight, negotiate, betray, and extract whatever you can carry from a conflict zone with shifting weather, dynamic objectives, and unpredictable enemy movement.

Modern Warfare 4 continues the rebooted Modern Warfare line that started in 2019. Players who own and have played any paid Call of Duty title released in 2019 or later on the same platform account can get 10% off the Vault Edition as a pre-order loyalty discount — free-to-play and mobile titles don't count, and the offer runs until October 23, 2026.

The game is confirmed for PlayStation 5 so far, with no other platforms announced by Infinity Ward at this stage. Pre-orders are live now on the PlayStation Store.
