Modern Combat is a series of shooter video games developed and published by Gameloft mainly for Android and iOS. All installments in the series play similarly to that of the Call of Duty and Battlefield franchises and feature multiple missions in varied environments with different tasks for players to complete. The main enemies in the games are terrorists, and often, the player is accompanied by other soldiers who fight alongside them. Modern Combat: Sandstorm is the first game in the Modern Combat series and was followed by 2010's Modern Combat 2: Black Pegasus, 2011's Modern Combat 3: Fallen Nation, 2012's Modern Combat 4: Zero Hour, 2014's Modern Combat 5: Blackout, 2017’s Modern Combat: Versus, 2019's Modern Combat: Rebel Guns, and in 2026 a spin-off on arcade machines named Phantom Vanguard : Modern combat^[1].

The 5 main entries of the series have been met with mainly positive reviews from critics, while the spin-off games Modern Combat: Domination and Modern Combat: Versus received mixed reviews.

In 2026, Gameloft announced that the franchise had surpassed 450 million downloads in total, primarily thanks to Modern Combat 5: Blackout, which is the only free-to-play title among the five main installments^[14].
