The Season four release of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone, which will bring about the return of Captain Price , was delayed due to recent incidents and uprise in the United States.

Through its official Twitter account of Call of Duty it was stated that now is not the time " to launch it. The originally scheduled date was June 4, and now we will have to wait until an indefinite date.

"Although we all look forward to playing the new seasons of Modern Warfare, Warzone and Call of Duty: Mobile, now is not the time," read the statement. "We will postpone the releases of Season 4 of Modern Warfare and Season 7 of Call of Duty: Mobile to later dates. "

“Right now it is time for those who speak out for equality, justice and change to be heard. We are with you ” concluded the statement.

This delay in the launch of the new seasons and the accompanying statement have to do with the current protests against police brutality in the United States, sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of Police Officer Derek Chauvin on May 25 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In a similar reaction, Sony announced the indefinite delay of the PlayStation 5 digital event originally scheduled for Thursday. However, it was recently announced that the Future Games Fest will take place on Saturday.

I thought they were selling Call of Duty all over the world, not just in the USA.

Also what do real world politics have to do with doing your job ? Are people allowed to take time off work to go protest ?

Well you know waht @Kaarme and @droopy_ro, if your wife/children are terribly sick, you for sure take time off to deal with it. Right?
As people that are not touched by the racism problem you just cannot see how the situation is bad for those people every day, many companies gave time off to go to protests or simply to take time for your mental health.
And that is the right thing to do, those things are serious.

Also if you are a decent person you do not want to shout about your new product when those things are happening, you do not want to be the one that is trying to move people attention from more important things, every video game, movie and new electronic device of the entertainment industry can wait better times.

You do not need a glorious economy if then the society sucks. Is not worth.

First corona, now this, and who knows what will happen next. Delays after delays, after delays. Good time to clear the steam backlog though.
