Activision and Sony have published a free dynamic theme to use on the PS4 home screen dedicated to the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The theme is called Going Dark and refers to the now iconic canons of the Infinity Ward franchise, and can be downloaded via PlayStation Store website at this link.
You can see it in action below:

As you can see in the video, it shows us a black screen with a radio wave that moves very lightly, indicating the “radio silence” that gives the theme its name (“Going dark”, as the tagline of the game presentation, in original).
Curiously, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare – coming out on October 25, this Friday – found itself in the middle of a small political case in Russia, where the sale of the PS4 version was banned. The publisher shared through its social channels in which it reveals the news and confirms that the choice was dictated by the local division of Sony Interactive Entertainment.
“Modern Warfare is a completely fictitious story, carefully crafted to please all players,” reads the statement released on Twitter. “SIE has decided not to sell the game on the Russian PS Store. We can’t wait for the game to arrive in digital format on PC and Xbox on October 25th.”
В основе Modern Warfare – полностью вымышленная история, тщательно созданная, чтобы доставить удовольствие всем игрокам. SIE решили не продавать игру в российском PS Store. Мы с нетерпением ждем выхода игры в цифровом варианте для ПК и Xbox 25 октября.
