Kotaku’s ‘Jason Schreier’ has confirmed that the new COD 2019 game will be called Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. This title sounds really ridiculous as it makes it sound similar to Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, however it appears that this will be the game’s final title.
I can confirm this is true, and that it's hilarious. The first one was "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" so obviously the fourth one is "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare." Video games are absurd https://t.co/Ghb1m2srC4

According to Schreier, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be a “soft reboot”. What this basically means is that COD: MW will aim to introduce the IP to a new generation of gamers, while still keep the canon of previous games intact.
Basically, think of it as what the new Star Wars and Jurassic World movies actually are; a continuation of the older films in which viewers follow new characters.

Our guess is that Activision will reveal the Call of Duty 2019 game at E3 2019 so stay tuned for more!
