IF YOU WANTED ANOTHER ONE

Games like Call of Duty: Ghosts

These are editorial comparisons, not official recommendations or sequels. Each pick matches a specific part of Ghosts: cinematic campaign, co-op survival, or wave-based PvE.

From my notes. I checked the official Steam store descriptions and app listings for each game via the Steam Store API (HTTP 200 on 23 October 2026). The similarities below are editorial, based on the described modes, not a claim that these games share Ghosts' story or setting.

Campaign and squad combat

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2011) is a direct fit if you want another cinematic, mission-based military campaign, with a separate story and its own Spec Ops co-op and Survival modes. Call of Duty: Black Ops II is another campaign-led Call of Duty with a near-future military setting and a distinct branching-story premise. Both are genre/mode comparisons, not Ghosts continuations.

If you mainly want Ghosts' coordinated squad-versus-squad play rather than its plot, start with the comparison with other Call of Duty games and check each game's store listing for its exact current platform and mode details.

The Modern Warfare reboot, including Modern Warfare 4 which released on 23 October 2026, is not a Ghosts sequel. It is where Simon Riley appears. That split is the whole point of Ghost vs Ghosts.

Co-op survival and wave-based PvE

If you want the survival pressure and teamwork of Extinction rather than its Cryptids, Modern Warfare 3 (2011) has co-op Spec Ops and a dedicated Survival mode. It is a closer fit for small-team survival than for Extinction's drill objectives and class system.

For wave-based co-op against undead enemies, Black Ops II includes Zombies, while Black Ops III explicitly offers a Zombies co-op mode. That makes BOIII a concrete option if the cooperative PvE loop matters most; its setting and rules differ from Extinction.

These are similarity suggestions, not official successors: none uses Extinction's Cryptids, Teeth progression or four classes.

Inside this game, the five maps are Point of Contact, Nightfall, Mayday, Awakening and Exodus. Start at the Extinction guide before you go looking for a different game.

Questions

Is there a Ghosts 2 to play instead?

Not as an announced game. The rumor page tracks that claim and does not treat it as confirmed.

Is Modern Warfare 4 a Ghosts successor?

No. It is the next Modern Warfare reboot game. Ghost appears there as an operator, not as a 2013 sequel lead.

What if I wanted Zombies?

Ghosts has Extinction, not Zombies. For distinct Zombies co-op, the official Steam listings describe the mode in <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/202970/Call_of_Duty_Black_Ops_II/">Black Ops II</a> and <a href="https://store.steampowered.com/app/311210/Call_of_Duty_Black_Ops_III/">Black Ops III</a>.
