Call of Duty: Modern Warfareand the free-to-playWarzonebattle royale were set to start Season 4 on June 3, complete with new maps, modes, and Captain Price as a playable character. However, Activision and Infinity Ward decided to delay theModern WarfareSeason 4 release date indefinitely in the aftermath of George Floyd’s death and the Black Lives Matter protests that are occurring all over the world. No newModern WarfareorWarzoneSeason 4 release date has been announced yet in an official capacity, but a dataminer may have leaked it.
AModern Warfaredataminer has discovered files that indicate theModern WarfareSeason 4 release dateis now Wednesday, June 10 at 6am UTC, which translates to 11pm PT/2am ET. Again, nothing official has been announced by Activision or Infinity Ward, so fans should take this news with a grain of salt.

After all, there are events taking place after June 10 that have already been delayed in support of the Black Lives Matter movement. For example, theEA Play eventwas supposed to take place on June 11, but it has since been pushed back to June 18. Considering this, it’s possible that fans may have to wait for some date after June 10 before they will have the chance to playModern WarfareandWarzoneSeason 4.
So far, Infinity Ward has shown a great deal of support for the Black Lives Matter movement, and so it wouldn’t be surprising to see the studio delay theModern WarfareSeason 4 release date again if the protests are still happening come next week. Besides delaying the start of Season 4, Infinity Ward has also made an effort to crack down on racist usernames in its games, and has also added aBlack Lives Matter messageto the start of the game.
In the meantime, it remains to be seen exactly whatCall of Duty: Modern WarfareSeason 4 will consist of. Activision and Infinity Ward have kept it largely secret, and there haven’t been nearly as many leaks as usual. However, it does seem as though fans can count on theVector SMG and Galil to be inModern WarfareSeason 4, though they may have different names.
If theCall of Duty: Modern WarfareandWarzoneSeason 4 release date is truly June 10 as leaked, then fans can expect more information on the new content early next week.
