Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's Delayed Season 4 Begins Tonight

Following a recent delay, Season 4 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone will begin tonight, June 10, at 11pm PT / June 11 at 2am ET / June 11 7am BST. Infinity Ward confirmed the news of the new date that was delayed in response to the global protests following the death of George Floyd. Call of Duty's Twitter posted a message stating that it was "not the time" to launch the new season and that it would be "moving the launches of Modern Warfare Season 4 and Call of Duty: Mobile Season 7 to later dates. Right now it's time for those speaking up for equality, justice, and change to be seen and heard. We stand alongside you." [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-call-of-duty-review&captions=true"] Call of Duty also committed to ban racist names from its online modes, and it added an update that prompts a Black Lives Matter message to each player as they log on to Modern Warfare. Call of Duty was one of the many games/companies that delayed scheduled events or implemented in-game tributes to the Black Lives Matter movement. Sony delayed its PlayStation 5 reveal event, which is now set to take place tomorrow, June 11, at 1pm PT/4pm ET/9pm BST. Rockstar shut down GTA Online and Red Dead Online for 2 hours, Fortnite Delayed Chapter 2 Season 3, and the Cyberpunk 2077 news broadcast, Night City Wire, was delayed from June 11 to June 25.
