Infinity Ward officially presented Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 for PlayStation 5. The new shooter in the series will feature a campaign, multiplayer, and a DMZ mode — an extraction format where players enter a zone, gather loot, and try to escape alive.

The release is scheduled for October 23.

The story begins with a large-scale invasion of North Korea, threatening to destabilize the entire world. A young squad of South Korean soldiers survives on the broken front line, while Captain Price conducts his own war from the shadows.

Players will take on the role of Private Pak, a young soldier from South Korea, who experiences real combat for the first time with his unit. The story then reunites him with Price, who operates outside the system and hunts for weapons capable of shifting the balance of power.

The campaign promises trench battles in Korea, close-quarters combat in New York, chases in Paris, and night raids by the SAS in Mumbai.

At launch, multiplayer will feature 12 base maps in a 6v6 format from various corners of the world, separate maps for Gunfight, and several large Big War maps for vehicle and infantry battles. A new mode Kill Block will also be available at launch — it takes place on a training ground, with the battlefield layout changing between rounds.

DMZ returns as an extraction mode for solo players and teams. Here, players need to extract military technology from a conflict zone, where weather, objectives, and enemy behavior change. Players are encouraged to take risks, negotiate, betray, and evacuate with what they manage to gather.

A new technology called Ballistic Authority has also been announced, which aims to combine precise aiming, weapon physics, sound, visibility, and combat perception into a single system. It is also emphasized that movement in multiplayer will be smoother, allowing players to maneuver more freely during firefights.
