2019 will see the release of a new addition to the iconic Call of Duty franchise, and we already know it’s going to have a single player campaign.
What we don’t know is pretty much anything else about the game, but Reddit thinks it’s dug up a little clue straight from Activision’s recent conference call.
Over on the r/mw4 subreddit, a user has uploaded a clip of the call, with the title: “If you listen in (this was the Activision investor call that happened today) you can hear the representative say ‘moder-’ then the mic cuts and he says ‘call of duty’ for the fall release of CoD (2019). This has to be Modern Warfare 4”

It definitely does sound like the rep is about to say Modern Warfare 4, but maybe that’s just wishful thinking…?
There is a lot of evidence to support the idea though. Last month, Ashton Williams, Senior Communication Manager at Infinity Ward, sent COD fans into a frenzy with a single tweet showing off a gif of a skull.

Initially it was believed that Williams was references a new Call Of Duty: Ghostsgame, a claim that’s since been debunked by Kotaku’s Jason Schreier.
So, if it’s not Ghosts, there’s only two things that make any sort of logical sense: a Modern Warfare 2 remaster, or Modern Warfare 4.
A Modern Warfare game – whether a remake or something brand-new – makes the most sense because Infinity Ward is the company behind the Modern Warfare series of games. Plus, Lieutenant Simon “Ghost” Riley of MW2 is well-known for his skull-patterned balaclava.
Do you think the new COD will be MW4?
