CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE 4 SETS KOREAN WAR SCENARIO

Modern Warfare 4 embraces a potentially divisive premise by imagining a revived Korean war, placing it among Call of Duty's most contentious entries. The franchise has previously drawn criticism for scenarios mirroring real-world events—including Modern Warfare 2's "No Russian" airport mission and a 2022 drone strike sequence that paralleled the 2020 US assassination of Iranian general Qassem Suleimani. The new setting underscores Infinity Ward's willingness to engage with contemporary geopolitical tensions as narrative material. Whether the execution generates the same backlash as previous entries remains unclear. Separately, Activision announced Call of Duty: Warzone will drop PS4 and Xbox One support later this year. The battle royale will be removed from those storefronts on June 4th, with in-game stores following. Players on older consoles must upgrade to PS5, Xbox Series S, or Series X to continue playing.
