Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Still Has Some New Content on the Way

With the recent launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, and the upcoming start of its first post-launch season, you could be forgiven for thinking that active development was over for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, it seems that at least some new content may still be on the horizon for the 2019 title.

The Next Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Content Update

Neither Infinity Ward nor Activision have made any formal announcements about upcoming content for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, it seems that something – although it may not be a full new season – is at least in the pipeline. This news comes via Infinity Ward’s lead multiplayer VFX artist, who was recently asked about whether Modern Warfare would get a Season 7 on Twitter.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare Season 7 Content Update Rumour

“There is more content coming,” he replies; “I just don’t know the official name of it. Hope some info gets released soon so people know what’s going on.”

Firstly, that seems a clear indication that Infinity Ward plans to continue releasing new content for Modern Warfare, if only in the short-term. Additionally, it suggests that news about that content could emerge relatively soon. Given that Black Ops Cold War Season 1 is due to launch in less than two weeks’ time, it’s unlikely that the studio will release anything within that timeframe. Activision will want to focus attention on the new release, after all. However, once the season is underway, Infinity Ward may be able to announce their plans for Modern Warfare.

Of course, whether those plans constitute a full seventh season or not remains to be seen. In all likelihood, even if a Season 7 does eventually release, it’s likely to feature less content than previous seasons. After all, the focus is now very much on Black Ops Cold War. In that context, Infinity Ward will likely be shifting resources to work on development for their next big project. However, as with previous games, fans should expect Infinity Ward to continue active support for a while yet. (Even if it slowly shifts that support to smaller and smaller updates.)
