The scene will be removed in an update in November, the BBC reports.
The announcement comes after relatives of victims said they were “horrified” that real news footage - showing covered bodies in the street and life-saving efforts - was used in a sequence in the game.
The disaster occurred when panic broke out during a Halloween celebration in the Seoul district of Itaewon four years ago. Nearly 160 people were crushed or suffocated to death.
“Using such an event in a game made for entertainment is inherently inappropriate,” the families wrote in a statement, according to the BBC.
“Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4” depicts a fictional North Korean invasion of South Korea.
Publisher Activision apologized and said the intention was never to “trivialize” the stampede.
