Activision and Infinity Ward officially reveal Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 and set its release for October 23, 2026. The game launches on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and PC, and it also comes to Nintendo Switch 2—marking a rare recent appearance of the series on a Nintendo console. Multiple outlets report that this installment is developed by Infinity Ward and is positioned as a next-generation entry. A key change highlighted across coverage is that Modern Warfare 4 skips last-generation platforms: it does not include support for PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, which Activision says is the first time since 2013 that a mainline Call of Duty release fully drops those systems. Reporting also emphasizes that Infinity Ward is building the game around current-generation hardware, enabling larger environments, updated technology for multiplayer, and more advanced rendering and physics. Overall, the announced platforms and date are consistent across sources, with particular focus on the Switch 2 release and the move away from older console support.
