The next Call of Duty, rumored to be Modern Warfare 4, is slated to come out sometime in October 2026, according to one leaker. A new game in the long-running shooter series is nothing surprising, given the franchise's annual release cadence, but specific details, like what exactly the game is and when in 2026 it'll release, remain unconfirmed. An official Call of Duty reveal will undoubtedly come later in the year, but fans may have gotten an early look at when to expect the next title.
While the CoD franchise has a reputation for predictability, thanks to regular releases and largely similar gameplay between modern entries, there are rumors of some big upcoming changes. One leaker suggested that Call of Duty may abandon its pattern of annual releases, and there's talk of splitting off the ever-popular Zombies mode as a standalone game. None of this is confirmed for now, and Activision has even denied some of the rumblings, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning.
A new leak from a trusted industry insider reveals some surprising plans for the future of Call of Duty, as 2027 may mark a major shift in the series.
