Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare will be the first title in the franchise to introduce cross-play for PS4, XBox One and PC.

"With the launch of Modern Warfare, the team is taking steps to unite the community," Infinity Ward said in a statement.

"First, the team plans for Modern Warfare to be played together across PC and console through cross-play support.

"Also, the team is eliminating the traditional season pass, so that they can deliver more free maps and content as well as post-launch events to all players."

Ahead of its release on 25 October, a trailer for the game dropped today, along with official confirmation of the new instalment's name.

A teaser also dropped on Twitter yesterday on the official Call of Duty account, with the caption 'Going Dark'.

In the 21-second teaser, you can hear the sounds of a woman walking through the woods, with a loaded gun at the ready.

She says: "I've got a problem. They could be anywhere. What can you brief?"



The audio then cuts off, revealing the mysterious tip-off for the trailer announcement, saying: "May 30. 10am PDT."

We still don't know much about what we can expect, but narrative director Taylor Kurosaki told The Telegraph: "The world has changed a whole lot since Modern Warfare 3 came out.

"Frankly for us as storytellers, there were no relatable stakes left in [Modern Warfare 3] for us to craft a narrative around.

"This is Modern Warfare though; it is everything you love and expect about the series, but it is for the time we live in."

Campaign director Jacob Minkoff also elaborated a little more.

"War isn't on some battlefield any more, it's in everybody's cities," he said.

"It's in the cities of the people living in the Middle East, it's in our cities. If we're going to tell a story about modern warfare, terrorism and the global war on terror has to be involved. Otherwise it's not telling the true story."
