(FILES) A visitor dressed with a cosplay costume from Minecraft stands in front of the Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 4 stand during the preview night of Paris Games Week 2026 in Paris, on October 21, 2026. An invasion of a South Korean city, a high-speed chase through the streets of Paris... The latest installment in the Call of Duty video game franchise, arriving on October 23, 2026, brings back the explosions and heroic feats that fueled its success, an effort to revitalize a series that has been losing momentum. Gone are the fictional countries of Eastern Europe or the Middle East: "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4" sets its story in a South Korea invaded by its northern neighbor, against a backdrop of tensions between the United States and Russia.
