A new leak suggests that the next Call of Duty game, widely believed to be Modern Warfare 4, could launch in October 2026. If accurate, it would continue the franchise’s usual pattern of big fall releases and place it in a highly competitive window for major game launches.

The information comes from a known insider, though nothing has been officially confirmed yet by Activision. As with most leaks, details should be taken cautiously until an announcement is made.

Very little is known about the game itself so far, but it’s expected to follow on from the recent Modern Warfare titles developed by Infinity Ward. Previous rumors have hinted at a continuation of the current storyline, potentially expanding on existing characters and conflicts.

If the October 2026 release is real, players likely won’t have to wait too long for a reveal, as Call of Duty games are typically announced earlier in the year with marketing ramping up over the summer.

For now, fans will have to rely on leaks and speculation—but if this one proves true, another major entry in the Modern Warfare series could be just around the corner.
