<p>Activision appears to be preparing to reveal the next Call of Duty, as it has changed its social media accounts to reflect the impending announcement. The franchise says it is &quot;going dark&quot; and has changed its logo icon on its <a href="https://twitter.com/CallofDuty">official Twitter account</a>.</p>
<p>That all seems to suggest an announcement is imminent, likely sometime before or during <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/e3/">E3 2019</a>. Activision usually announces its annual Call of Duty installments before E3. Though Activision doesn&#8217;t hold its own press conference for the event, a Call of Duty trailer is often featured at the press briefings for Microsoft, Sony, or both. This year <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/playstation-wont-attend-e3-2019-sony-confirms/1100-6463293/">Sony is bowing out of E3</a>, but Microsoft could still show it off.</p>
<p>Rumor has it that the next Call of Duty will be a <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/e3-2019-rumor-roundup-new-xbox-call-of-duty-modern/1100-6467082/">reboot of Modern Warfare</a>, dropping the numbers and simply calling itself Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This would be the fourth Modern Warfare game, following up on last year&#8217;s <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-4/">Black Ops 4</a>.</p>
<p>Black Ops 4 dropped the longstanding tradition of story campaign modes in Call of Duty games, instead focusing on its competitive multiplayer, Zombies, and new Blackout modes. This year&#8217;s installment will <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/this-years-call-of-duty-game-includes-a-campaign-a/1100-6464971/">bring back the campaign</a>&#8211;which would make sense for rebooting a story-focused series like Modern Warfare&#8211;and we know that it&#8217;s <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/new-call-of-duty-game-is-already-playable-despite-/1100-6466435/">already playable</a>.</p>
