Many Call of Duty fans after playing MW3 (2023) have been left wondering whether there will be a Modern Warfare 4. With MW3 arriving on the Xbox Game Pass on July 24, 2024, many fans who were yet to play the shooter have been finally getting their hands on it. This has resulted in many playing the game’s campaign and after completing it, they are left with one question: Will there be a Modern Warfare 4?
In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the all possibilities of a Modern Warfare 4 release after MW3.
Exploring the possibilities of Modern Warfare 4 releasing after MW3
Simply put, yes, it is highly likely that there will be a Modern Warfare 4, and there is one main reason for it possibly happening. In MW3, the Campaign ended with Soap dying in the hands of Makarov and Captain Price ending the life of General Shepherd.
However, Makarov fled after killing Soap and is still at large, and Captain Price has set his sights on getting revenge for the death of Soap by ending Makarov’s saga once and for all. With the storyline incomplete, fans will likely get a sequel sooner or later.
In the original Modern Warfare trilogy too fans got to see Captain Price going after Makarov. However, that is yet to happen in the rebooted series, and it won’t be a Call of Duty game if the good guys don’t come out on top at the end. As the storyline currently stands, Makarov is still calling the shots and has Task Force 141 on a goose chase.
To further solidify this theory, it has actually been confirmed by Infinity Ward’s Narrative Director that the Modern Warfare (rebooted) storyline will continue beyond MW3. Hence, fans can expect a sequel to MW3 in the next few years.
Please note that it is merely a speculation based on MW3’s Campaign and although Infinity Ward’s Narrative Director has confirmed that the rebooted Modern Warfare story will continue, it isn’t confirmed whether the next Modern Warfare game will be called Modern Warfare 4, nor anything has been officially revealed about the next entry in the Modern Warfare series.
Hence, although, certainly, this isn’t the last time fans are going to see Task Force 141 and Makarov, it is currently not known whether the upcoming MW game will be called Modern Warfare 4.
