Fans speculate Call of Duty: Modern Warfare season 4 could go live today

After announcing a delay last week, there are rumours suggesting the new season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare could be dropping as early as Wednesday.

The rumour, it turns out, was correct as Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 4 went live at 7:00 am BST today, June 11.

There has been a certain lack of communication from Activision regarding the new season, which given the game's subreddit, has certainly angered people.

People were speculating a surprise release could happen on Wednesday, June 10, which is ultimately did as an update was announced overnight in the UK.

After postponing the season launches last week, Activision and Infinity Ward were vocal about supporting movements like Black Lives Matter in the wake of the George Floyd protests.

It added a Black Lives Matter splash screen to the game which pops up frequently and promised to crack down on racist player names, but since then we've heard nothing from Activision.

The latest speculation and rumour of the surprise launch is coming from ModernWarzone on Twitter.

“Looks like @ Vikkstar123 knows something that the rest of us DON’T about # CallOfDuty # ModernWarfare # Season4 ,” Tweeted ModernWarzone.

“He states he has a video coming out tomorrow, & that’s all he can say without getting in trouble. Then says he's probably ALREADY in trouble”

The original live stream linked in the Tweet is an unlisted video and we know that streamers do get access to these updates early so they can plan content around it ahead of launch.

It seems likely @Vikkstar123 could well be referring to the launch of season 4 here, but it seems all we can do is wait.
