Activision компанийн маркетингийн захирал Тайлер Бахлын мэдээлснээр, удахгүй гарах Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 нь тус цувралын түүхэн дэх нэгэн бүлгийг хаах төлөвтэй байна.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 тоглоом аравдугаар сарын 23-нд худалдаанд гарах бөгөөд энэ нь Modern Warfare цувралын хувьд эцсийн цэг байж болзошгүй гэж Activision компанийн маркетингийн захирал Тайлер Бахл мэдэгдлээ. Түүний хэлснээр, компани нь цувралын өмнөх үйл явдлуудыг дүгнэн хааж, шинэлэг зүйлийг эрэлхийлэх шаардлагатай байгаа аж. Ингэснээр ирээдүйд цоо шинэ салбар франчайзууд гарч ирэх магадлалтай байна.
Modern Warfare цуврал нь 2007 онд анхны тоглолтоо гаргаснаас хойш 19 жилийн турш үргэлжилж, нийт долоон үндсэн тоглолтыг багтаагаад байна. Үүний нэгэн адил Black Ops цуврал ч мөн адил хувь заяаг угтаж болзошгүй гэх таамаг байгаа юм. Хэдийгээр эдгээр цувралын дүрүүд болон зарим элементүүдийг цаашид өөр хэлбэрээр ашиглаж болох ч, Activision үзэгчдийн хүсэлтэд нийцүүлэн илүү шинэлэг, сайжруулсан туршлагыг санал болгохыг зорьж байна.
Тус компани өмнө нь Call of Duty: Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, Infinite Warfare, WWII болон Vanguard зэрэг шинэ цувралуудыг туршиж байсан түүхтэй. Одоогоор Modern Warfare 4-ийн дараа юу гарах нь тодорхойгүй байгаа ч, Call of Duty франчайз нь ирэх онуудад үргэлжлэн хөгжих нь тодорхой байна. Уг тоглоом нь PC, PlayStation 5 болон Xbox Series X/S төхөөрөмжүүдэд зориулан гарах юм.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 arrives on October 23, but it could mark the end of Activision’s Modern Warfare series, with Black Ops potentially facing the same fate as the next Call of Duty game could launch an entirely new sub-franchise.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is the next highly anticipated release in Activision’s ever-popular military shooter series, and it might be time for fans to wave goodbye to Captain Price, Ghost and friends.
Alongside Black Ops, it’s one of the franchise’s most beloved sub-franchises, but that love affair could soon be coming to an end following comments from Activision’s chief marketing officer, Tyler Bahl.
What did Activision say about the future of Modern Warfare after MW4?
When speaking to The Game Business on the topic of Modern Warfare 4, Bahl said: “I don’t want to give any spoilers for the game coming out, but I think in a lot of ways, this is going to be the epic conclusion of this recent series of Modern Warfare.
“It’s not that some characters and pieces can’t live on beyond this and be reinvented, but I think in a lot of ways, we’re excited by closing this chapter and launching a new one.
“And I think where we go with potential future games is really, we have to innovate, and we have to, what we heard from the audience is they want new, or better, or different. And in a lot of ways, it’s a combination of those things. And so I think we want to make sure that what we bring to the table is exciting.”

What’s next for Call of Duty after Modern Warfare 4?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Activision
At this time, we can only speculate. That being said, the prospect of Call of Duty no longer releasing new Modern Warfare or Black Ops games would take some getting used to.
The Modern Warfare series dates back 19 years, with the first entry arriving in 2007 in the form of the legendary Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Including Modern Warfare 4, which launches next week, that will bring the total to seven mainline Modern Warfare games.
As for Black Ops, the series dates back 16 years, with the first game arriving in 2010. There have now been seven mainline entries, with the latest being the rather disappointing Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in 2025. That being said, much like the original Modern Warfare trilogy, the original Black Ops trilogy is well and truly in GOAT territory.
If Activision were to take the bold step of creating a new sub-franchise, it would have to knock it out of the park. That said, it’s not like it’s the company’s first rodeo, as we’ve seen it try something similar before with Call of Duty: Ghosts (2013), Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare (2014), Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare (2016), Call of Duty: WWII (2017) and Call of Duty: Vanguard (2021).

Call of Duty: World at War (2008) could be considered one of the most successful standalone entries, especially as it later became closely connected to the Black Ops series.
Advanced Warfare and Infinite Warfare may share the word “Warfare” in their names, but neither has a direct connection to the Modern Warfare storyline. However, while these games all have their fans, it’s fair to say that none has had quite the same lasting impact as the original Modern Warfare and Black Ops trilogies.
Despite all that, as a returning fan of the series since 2005’s Call of Duty 2 on the Xbox 360, I absolutely welcome a potential change. For years, fans have accused the series of becoming stale, despite it remaining incredibly popular year after year. But as the saying goes, “All good things must come to an end”.
We may eventually reach a point where we never see another Modern Warfare or Black Ops game, but I think the Call of Duty series itself is likely to be around for many more years to come.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will be released on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S.
