Leak Points to 2019 Infinity Ward Call of Duty Being Modern Warfare 4

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 has only recently been revealed to the world, but that has not stopped new leaks from surfacing that have suggested what Call of Duty title Infinity Ward plans to develop in 2019. According to a report by Gaming Intel, an insider source has revealed that Infinity Ward is planning on releasing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 in 2019.

Gaming Intel reported that the alleged Modern Warfare 4 title will allegedly include a single player campaign and a online multiplayer experience. It was also stated that a battle royale mode had been discussed for the game, but nothing concrete had yet been decided on the inclusion of a battle royale mode in the title.

This leak of information coincides with the news of a multitude of former Infinity Ward employees, who had all previously worked on the popular Call of Duty series, had returned to work on the studio's next Call of Duty game, which had begin to fuel speculation that Infinity Ward's next title would indeed be Modern Warfare 4. 

Rumors surrounding the possibility of a fourth Modern Warfare game being developed first began when Voice actor Craig Fairbrass, who had worked on the Modern Warfare series, stated in his Twitter bio back in late March that he had worked on Modern Warfare 1/2/3/4. However, with there having been no fourth entry in the series, many community members believed that Fairbrass had accidentally leaked the newest title in the franchise.  

Fairbrass later went on to change the fourth title in his Twitter bio to Modern Warfare Remastered, which was released alongside Infinity Ward's 2016 Call of Duty game, to cease the speculation and rumors. 

It is important to note that Modern Warfare 4 has not officially been confirmed by Infinity Ward, and that players will have until at least early 2019 before any official news surrounding the identity of Infinity Ward's newest title.
