Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23 for PS5 with a new Campaign, Multiplayer modes, and the return of DMZ extraction gameplay.

Activision and Infinity Ward have officially announced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 , the next installment in the popular first-person shooter series. The game releases October 23 and features Campaign, Multiplayer, and DMZ returning with another Modern Warfare story focused around Captain Price and a war that spans the globe.

Modern Warfare 4‘s Campaign tackles two perspectives within a war set across the Korean Peninsula. Players take control of Private Park, a young soldier fighting for South Korea as it becomes invaded by the North.

Narrative details have not been revealed, but Activision promises a campaign that mixes blockbuster style missions with boots-on-the-ground military style warfare on grand scales and in clandestine operations.

Multiplayer opens with 12 core 6v6 maps, dedicated Gunfight arenas, and Big War maps that emphasize infantry and vehicle combat on larger scales. A brand-new addition to Multiplayer is Kill Block, a game mode that takes place inside of a live-fire training facility with the map’s layout shifting after each round.Ballistic Authority is Modern Warfare 4′s new combat technology feature.
