Call of Duty · the whole series · 2003–2026

Every Call of Duty in order — and the story order is a different list.

Switch the board below between release order and story order and watch the series rearrange itself: the 2019 Modern Warfare starts the Modern Warfare story again, and three games have no year to sort by at all.

What order should I play Call of Duty in?

For the stories, play each sub-series in its own release order: the original Modern Warfare trilogy (Call of Duty 4, Modern Warfare 2, Modern Warfare 3), Black Ops from the 2010 game onwards, and the second Modern Warfare story from Modern Warfare (2019) through Modern Warfare II, Modern Warfare III and Modern Warfare 4. The Second World War games stand on their own.

No. It restarts the Modern Warfare story with the same characters — Price, Soap, Ghost — in a new continuity, separate from the 2007–2011 trilogy. Modern Warfare II (2022), Modern Warfare III (2023) and Modern Warfare 4 continue that new story.

Call of Duty, released on 29 October 2003 by Infinity Ward, set in the Second World War.
