Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 honors co-creator Vince Zampella

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 Vince Zampella Infinity Ward Respawn Entertainment DMZ mode

The credits of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 include a dedicated “In Memoriam” section to honor Vince Zampella, the co-creator of the franchise and co-founder of Infinity Ward. Zampella passed away in a car accident in December 2025 at the age of 55.

The tribute also recognizes other individuals who contributed to the franchise and passed away during the production of the game, including Rainer Yang, Matt Canale, and Preetam Raj Bordoloi. Zampella’s legacy extends beyond Call of Duty; he also co-founded Respawn Entertainment, the studio behind Titanfall and Star Wars Jedi.

Modern Warfare 4 features a return of the DMZ extraction mode, which developers have refined based on feedback from the 2022 beta. The game is scheduled for release on October 23, 2026, across various platforms including PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch 2.
