The 'Call of Duty: Modern Warfare' Reboot Now Has a Trailer (UPDATE)
Alongside a release date.
UPDATE: Following previous news, an official trailer for the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot has surfaced alongside some new details which include a release date.
Not only will previously introduce characters in the series make a return, but the title will be cross-play compatible across consoles and PC day one. It will also not introduce a Season Pass or any subsequent multiplayer maps that would split the user base between whose paid for DLC and who hasn’t. “We are creating an emotionally charged experience that’s inspired by the headlines in the world today, where the rules are grey and battle lines are blurred,” Infinity Ward co-studio head Dave Stohl said.
Check out the trailer and stay tuned for more details. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare arrives October 25 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC exclusively through Blizzard’s Battle.net launcher.

Original Story (May 24, 2019):Activision‘s forthcoming Call of Duty 2019 title will be named Call of Duty: Modern Warfare according to sources, signaling a reboot of the franchise. The new title is speculated to be a “soft reboot”, with many speculating it to be remaking the story of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the first title in the series.
Kotaku‘s Jason Schreier leaked the information and it has yet to be confirmed by Activision or developer Infinity Ward. However, former Infinity Ward developer Robert Bowling has been teasing fans on Twitter of the rebooted gaming arriving soon. According to Kotaku, “Activision has been showing the game to press and “influencers” (YouTubers and streamers) for a week or two now, so a leak like this was inevitable.”
It also suggests an official announcement will be made “likely next week.”
In other gaming news, PlayStation posted 20-minutes worth of gameplay footage for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled.
And the fact it’s unrelated to Modern Warfare Remastered, too… 😅
