Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is once again promising a more realistic and grounded style, with devs saying the game will avoid the over-the-top celebrity and crossover skins that have become common in recent years.
“Every aspect of Modern Warfare 4 is anchored in the game’s narrative” and “every feature, every decision needs to feel authentic to what Modern Warfare is.”
The studio also added, “We’re committed to keeping it grounded and transparent.”
When one fan mentioned the Nicki Minaj skin, Infinity Ward reportedly replied, “Nah, no Nicki.”
They already promised this before just to add these celebrity collabs later, so I’m not buying it.
Another question is AI-generated content. Recent Call of Duty games faced backlash over AI-created artwork and cosmetics, but Activision and Infinity Ward have not yet stated whether Modern Warfare 4 will avoid those practices.
