The next Call of Duty game will be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. But it’s hardly the first Modern Warfare game in the Call of Duty franchise.

Activision has been keeping us in suspense for quite a while. We knew that a new Call of Duty was coming, as you can pretty much mark the passing of the seasons with every new CoD game, but w🔜e didn’t know what it would be called. Or what it would be about. Or much of anything, really, other than it was to be made by 🙈Infinity Ward.

Well, now we know what the game will be called. The news comes courtesy of YouTuber LongSensation, who has been playing a preview version of the game for the past week or so along with a whole bunch of other streamers. He tweeted out the name, which was then picked up by Kotaku’s Jason Schreier, who re𝓰ached out to Activision to get confirmation. Which he🐈 did. Although we kinda wish he hadn’t.

The 2019 Call of Duty game is called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

This is a very confusing name. The first Modern Warfare was actually the fourth Call of Duty game called Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This spawned its own subseries of Modern Warfare games with the most recent being a remake of the first Modern Warfare called Remastered Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.

So this fourth Modern Warfare game will not be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 as with the previous iterations in the sub-series since the fourth Modern Warfare was actually a remaster of the first one. Instead, the fourth Modern Warfare (which is really the fifth Modern Warfare) will be a “soft reboot” simply titled Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Confusing? Yes.

We don’t know the precise release date for Modern Warfare, but we do know it’ll be sometime this fall. It’ll also have a bunch of heart-wrenching and soul-destroying moments as with Modern Warfare 2 when you killed a bunch of civilians, according ꧃to .
