Known Call of Duty enthusiast and insider charlieINTEL took to Twitter/X to respond to a question regarding the release window of all of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. In their response, they claimed that the upcoming first-person shooter will see the light of day 6 months later in October, 2026.
Last year, it was claimed by fellow Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 will not be released for PS4 and Xbox One. They also claimed that the game will feature a traditional UI similar to the one seen in older entries, even more so than Black Ops 6. They further mentioned that the Infinity Ward engine is being overhauled to address problems seen in Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3, such as “visual clutter”. Additionally, they said that there will be no Warzone 3 if Verdansk fails to retain both existing and returning players. Lastly, the most interesting detail shared by the insider was that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 is being developed on dev kits for the next Xbox console. Both the game and console are rumored for launch in Fall 2026.
The same insider had previously claimed that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 is scheduled for release in 2026. They also said that the game will feature both omnimovement and wall running mechanics, and that developer Infinity Ward will be remastering classic maps from 2011’s original Modern Warfare 3 for the upcoming title alongside brand new original ones. According to them, Infinity Ward is looking to avoid making the same errors it had made with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 has yet to receive an official announcement. The reveal is expected to happen sometime during the coming months.
