The voice actor for Modern Warfare protagonist Captain Price, coincidentally named Bill Murray, revealed to ThisIsXbox that he’s getting ready to meet with Infinity Ward next week to talk about Modern Warfare 4. Apparently Murray was blissfully unaware that the man he was speaking with on a recent flight was actually a video game journalist, because he prematurely let the cat of the bag by confirming Infinity Ward’s next project. According to the voice actor, the fourth game will carry on from where MW3 left off, and Captain Price will be returning in one form or another.
Many fans thought that Infinity Ward would move away from the Modern Warfare series after the the third title wrapped up the events in the best-selling trilogy, but it appears that simply won’t be the case. Reports surfaced earlier this year that Neversoft is helping with the development of Modern Warfare 4, and that’s now incredibly plausible given the recent turn of events.
It’s disappointing to learn that Activision doesn’t plan on taking the series in a different direction following the release of Black Ops 2 in a few weeks, but it’s not at all surprising that they’re sticking with the Modern Warfare brand since it’s proven to be incredibly profitable. Maybe Treyarch will provide fans with a new kind of war-filled, first-person epic in 2014; I mean, Call of Duty: Space can’t be that far away, right?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will likely be arriving at the end of 2013.
