Activision Blizzard Japan detailed the multiplayer mode for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, which launches October 23 for Nintendo Switch 2, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. The twelve core 6v6 maps include Caches, Coal, and Lotus. Three 32v32 Ground War maps, Imjin Farmland, Wolves Stadium, and Forest, arrive too. More than twelve multiplayer modes are playable, among them new additions Inflation, Hijack, Collateral, and Combat Outpost, and Shipment returns October 27.
