*Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 4*Campaign Early Access is confirmed!

Starting on Friday, October 16, players who have digitally pre-ordered or pre-purchased*Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® 4*get Early Access to the game’s Campaign.

This benefit applies to those pre-ordering or pre-purchasing the Standard Digital Edition or Vault Edition of the game on Steam.

No Line Holds Forever

In the*Modern Warfare 4*Campaign, you fight as Private Park, a young South Korean soldier facing live combat for the first time alongside his squad. What begins as a routine mission descends into chaos when North Korea launches a full-scale invasion, forcing Park and his unit into a desperate battle through collapsing cities and counteroffensives.

Beyond the front lines, operator-turned-outlaw Captain Price is operating outside the system he once served. A hunt for revenge draws Price toward a weapon powerful enough to shift the balance of power, setting in motion a conflict far greater than he ever anticipated. Forced into uneasy alliances and off-book operations, Price is pulled deeper into consequences he can no longer escape.

From large-scale battles and covert missions to combined-arms warfare and cinematic set pieces, the campaign delivers grounded combat and gameplay variety across a war that spreads far beyond the front lines.
