Activision Calls Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 'The Epic Conclusion,' Leaving Fans Wondering What's Next
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is being advertised as the "epic conclusion," suggesting an end of an era for the franchise.
Activision has dubbed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 as the "epic conclusion" to the Modern Warfare saga, leaving fans curious about what lies ahead. The teaser trailer for the upcoming game stated that it marks the end of this particular storyline. However, it remains uncertain whether this truly signifies the permanent conclusion of the Modern Warfare universe or if this is merely the final chapter of the narrative that began in 2019 with the rebooted Modern Warfare.
Treyarch, the studio behind the Black Ops series, recently revealed that they are prepared to create something entirely new and unprecedented. This statement was made amid rumors that the Black Ops series might be ending or taking a hiatus. The news has led some fans to express their desire for a fresh sub-franchise, perhaps even a rebooted iteration of existing titles such as Black Ops 2 or Infinity Warfare 2.
If Activision does indeed retire the current Modern Warfare and Black Ops series, it will be the first time the franchise hasn't had at least one sub-franchise since the inception of Black Ops in 2010. The original Modern Warfare series concluded after just three games back in 2011, with the team briefly considering a fourth installment before opting to venture into new territory with Call of Duty: Ghosts.
Following Ghosts and Infinity Ward's subsequent effort, Infinite Warfare, the studio returned to the rebooted Modern Warfare formula, which was credited for revitalizing the series and sparking the popularity of Warzone, the game's battle royale mode.
