Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Set For Release This Holiday Season

Written by Brandon Hofer on May 30, 2019

News: A soft reboot brings us back to modern times with a campaign, multiplayer, cooperative gameplay, and no season pass.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has just been revealed by Infinity Ward and Activision. This new title puts you into modern day conflicts where you will have to make split second decisions that could affect the entire world. This appears to be a soft reboot of the original Modern Warfare, meaning there is going to be some new stuff, as well as some stuff that will be familiar to those who have gone through either Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare or Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered. The new Modern Warfare features a unified narrative experience and progression across a heart racing single-player story, an action-packed multiplayer playground, and new cooperative gameplay.

“This is an all-new Modern Warfare reimagined in every way,” said Dave Stohl, co-Studio Head, Infinity Ward. “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. Players will join a varied cast of international special forces and freedom fighters in gripping and heart-pounding missions through iconic European cities and volatile expanses of the Middle East. It’s intense, it’s exciting, and we can’t wait for our fans to play this October.”

“Every design decision has been made with our players in mind,” said Patrick Kelly, Creative Director and co-Studio Head, Infinity Ward. “With the launch of Modern Warfare, we’re taking steps to unite the community. First, we plan for Modern Warfare to be played together across PC and console through cross-play support. Second, we’re eliminating the traditional season pass, so that we can deliver more free maps and content as well as post-launch events to all players. This is just the beginning – there’s much more to come.”

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be using a brand new engine that should help immerse you in the game like never before. The new technology utilizes the latest advancements in visual engineering, including a physically-based material system allowing for state of the art photogrammetry, a new hybrid tile based streaming system, new PBR decal rendering system, world volumetric lighting, 4K HDR, DirectX Raytracing (PC) and more as well as a new GPU geometry pipeline. Spectral rendering delivers thermal heat radiation and infrared identification for both thermal and night-vision in-game imaging. The technical investment provides a cutting edge animation and blend shape system, while the new suite of audio tools supports full Dolby ATMOS, on supported platforms, along with the latest in audio simulation effects.
