The Call of Duty series returns to Nintendo with Modern Warfare 4, which pushes the series into darker, more dangerous missions. Consequence and escalation bring long-running storylines to a powerful and emotional breaking point. A young squad of South Korean soldiers fights to survive on collapsing front lines, while, half a world away, a vengeful Captain Price wages a personal war from the shadows, staying one step ahead of those hunting him.

The campaign moves between trench warfare in Korea, close-quarters combat in New York, high-octane chases through Paris, and city-wide assaults to reclaim occupied territory. Players fight as Private Park and as Captain Price, now an operator-turned-outlaw working outside the system he once served.

Multiplayer delivers grounded, precise combat built around fluid movement that gives players greater control in every fight. On day one, players can deploy across 12 all-new 6v6 maps, each set in a visually and tactically distinct location around the world. Large-scale maps add vehicle and infantry combat to locations shaped by the campaign's global conflict. The mode spans tight, close-quarters fights and open battlefield engagements, and is designed to keep every match fast, tactical, and competitive.

DMZ is the series' extraction experience, where players loot, fight, negotiate, betray, and extract with whatever they can carry. It is described as a living combat sandbox in which every deployment is a new story. Players can deploy solo or with a squad into a volatile conflict zone as an off-the-books asset, tasked with recovering advanced military technology left in the wake of war.
