Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone Season 4, and Call of Duty: Mobile Season 7 was supposed to release this thursday but amid the ongoing protests after killing of George Floyd by police, it has been delayed till further notice. We can expect Activision to announce the new release dates by next week.

This official statement for the delay, relates to ongoing protests against police violence in the US, following the May 25 killing of George Floyd by police officer Derek Chauvin in Minneapolis, Minnesota. In a similar move, Sony announced it will delay a scheduled PlayStation 5 event until further notice, and Electronic Arts has delayed its Madden NFL 21 announcement. Also in an unusual move, Xbox quoted playstation and tweeted "We Stand Together"
