Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Is Allegedly Current-Gen Only, Developed On Next-Gen Xbox Dev Kits

The next entry in Microsoft and Activision's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 will allegedly be a current-gen only release.

They finally figured out how to move more ppl over to the current gen. Took them long enough it's obvious to everyone, force these ppl to upgrade to a current console not meet them where they are.

This news broke late last week. This leak suggest 26 which has been rumored before. It's possible it could be 27.

[Flawlessmic]

well not really if you read the article, its stating that this is due to release with new xbox hardware which means they will be again catering to the previous gen right up until the next one launches to last replace it as previous gen. in saying that though cod games dont do anything special so probably fine to cater to older consoles as dont think theyd be doing much to warrant or take advanatge of the new consoles fully

[ZycoFox]

So Switch 2 ain't even gonna get 2 years on the market before it's outpaced by an even bigger margin than it already will be..

Embarrassing for Nintendo, though I am still interested if they bring the right games and content.

As for COD, don't care for it.

[Tacoboto]

Nintendo doesn't care, Tailz

[Lightning77]

True, true.

[MetroidFREAK21]

Yay... 🥱

"Lastly, the most interesting detail shared by the insider was that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 is being developed on dev kits for the next Xbox console. Both the game and console are rumored for launch in Fall 2026"

Sounds like it is next gen only...but won't really be, because didn't they sign a contract to put COD on Nintendo consoles with feature parity for 10 years? It will always be cros gen because of that.

And people complaining about next gen being 2027/2028, let's see their thoughts on xbox starting it in 2026...

[IRetrouk]

No way a next gen xbox launches next year, the chip would have leaked already, look how early people found the ps5/xbox chips, the pro chip, the switch 2 chip.....

[RupeeHoarder]

I would not be shocked to see a new Xbox holiday 2026. They know Sony is launching end of 2027, this would essentially be their hail mary for what many seem to believe is their final console

[IRetrouk]

I dont think we are gonna see a ps6 in 2027 either, its all just rumors started to keep the clicks coming.

[BehindTheRows]

Right. PS5 Pro is the halfway point, and going by the PS4 Pro, that would put PS6 out during Holiday 2028.

As for the next Xbox? Who knows. We don’t even know if it’ll be a traditional console, handheld, etc. All up in the air.

[PhillyDonJawn]

It's already been semi confirmed. Xbox next gen is 2026. Phil also hinted at it a long time ago.

[IRetrouk]

I admire your faith in phils words.

[Neonridr]

the people complaining about next gen in 2027 just dropped $700 on a mid-gen refresh that so far has been proven to be very underwhelming (myself included)

[RupeeHoarder]

I mean you’re getting 3 years at minimum out of a PS5 Pro if it drops end of 2027, I think that’s quite reasonable, especially given most people are trading up for $300

[DaniMacYo]

Check those corners!

[127maXimus]

Cool, can we return to pre 2019, non “modern audience” Fortnite-ification please

[RaidenBlack]

MW'19 was goat ....after which everything went downhill

[CantThinkOfAUsername]

Just accept that you're not the target audience anymore.

[tiron8]

This person has leaked nothing that should give them any credibility.

There is zero chance that there is a new console in 2026 and there hasn't been any chip leaks from reliable AMD chip leakers. Every single chip from AMD from GPU's to CPU's and APU's, mobile and even server chips get leaked years prior to it's release.

There is years of testing involved with making a chip, then it takes time to set up manufacturing.

But keep hoping that the "ghostofhope" is going to save Xbox.

[rippermcrip]

Highly misleading title. It will be released on "last and current gen" (which will be PS5 and Series X + the next consoles) that exist when the game comes out.

No shit it won't be on PS4 and X1.

[DafunkyRebel]

MW3 was an absolute disgusting cash grab and narrative failure made by the lowest most talentless hacks in the industry. I saw so many people singing its praises thinking it will be massive and narrative masterpiece but then we saw the crapshoot that it turned out to be. Im not holding out hope for MW4 because most likely Activision will just make a subpar campaign again and throw in a bunch of Fornite skins for the MP and use the same systems the have for the last 20 yrs to build their PVP experience which will allow hackers and cheaters to run rampant again, and allow for latency problems to constantly freeze up and lag matches. Its gonna happen, mark my words these people don't learn or maybe they just think that sales are a given with COD and they don't need to fix anything or innovate truly.

[Deathdeliverer]

I think this is poorly worded. I think they MEANT that the next COD has been built on Current gen hardware from the ground up and will be current gen only. We are, after all, playing old PS4 call of duty with current gen “seasoning”. This will be the first “next gen” (this gen) call of duty.

[gigoran8]

its just gonna be filled with cheating streamers on the white list. The days of being excited for the new COD release are long gone for me.

[PassNextquestion]

I'm trying to imagine the Switch 2 running the latest instalment of call of duty that is apparently is being developed on the new xbox coming in 2026. It's going to end up either very blurry or streamed via something like gamepass
