A former Call of Duty developer has added to the present wave of rumours suggesting that this 12 months’s COD might be Modern Warfare 4. Replying on Twitter to a fan who declared their intention to defecate if this have been to transpire, the developer said “you better buy some brown pants” (through Dexerto).
That developer was Robert Bowling, former inventive strategist and group supervisor at Infinity Ward. As COD followers will know, that’s the studio which created the Modern Warfare sub-brand, and revolutionised the shooter style with its first entry again in 2007.
We’re within the midst of a wave of Modern Warfare Four rumours, because of 4 American soccer gamers who stated on Instagram that that they had performed this 12 months’s Call of Duty at a non-public preview occasion (through All Games Delta). A fan then slowed down the footage they posted, claiming to listen to the phrases “killstreaks” and “Modern Warfare 4”, although the audio is way from clear.
Here’s the video – see what you assume:
It’s additionally probably notable that, in Eurogamer’s coverage of that story, studying the primary phrase of the primary 4 paragraphs spells out ‘Modern Warfare 4’, although there’s no motive to assume that is something greater than a cheeky nod to the rumours. Bowling clearly thinks they’re credible, and as he seemingly nonetheless has connections with Infinity Ward – whose flip it’s to launch the following COD – he’s ready to know.

This simply provides to a pre-existing physique of Modern Warfare Four rumours. In a February earnings name, Activision-Blizzard confirmed that COD 2019 is “rooted in some of the franchise’s most important history” and may have a single-player marketing campaign (through PC Gamer). Earlier this 12 months, Infinity Ward’s communications manager was regularly tweeting mysterious, macabre imagery which some took as a touch that COD 2019 could be a sequel to 2013’s Ghosts, till Kotaku’s well-connected Jason Schreier quashed that concept.
It appears fairly unlikely that Infinity Ward would launch a brand new sub-series given the hostile reception to its final effort, 2016’s Infinite Warfare, and people feedback in regards to the franchise’s historical past. So whereas we nonetheless haven’t heard something official, Modern Warfare Four is trying like an more and more secure guess. The annual COD is often revealed properly forward of E3, so we shouldn’t have for much longer to attend both means.
