A remastered version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's campaign will launch tomorrow, 31st March, according to a leaked PlayStation Store listing Eurogamer understands to be accurate.

This confirmation comes after a raft of details were unearthed over the weekend by a dataminer peering into this week's update for fellow COD titles Modern Warfare (2019) and battle royale Warzone, each of which will promote the new remaster.

Last night, a Twitter account which accurately dated Call of Duty Warzone stated Modern Warfare 2 Remastered had a 30th March release date - close, but not quite.

And before all that, the remaster's wordy official title - Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Campaign Remastered - was spotted on a video games rating board.

Eurogamer sources suggest the remaster has been sat awaiting release for quite some time - Activision has simply been waiting for the right time to release it, as other Call of Duty games come and go with and without story modes themselves.

A release alongside 2018's campaign-less Black Ops 4, for example, would have looked like Activision was leaving out a traditional element of the Call of Duty package only to sell a remastered campaign mode separately.

The original Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was remastered all the way back in 2016.

In case it needs repeating, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2: Campaign Remastered is the story mode of Modern Warfare 2 only. There's no multiplayer here, though multiplayer maps are being added to last year's Modern Warfare instead.

For anyone who forgot, it's been known for some time that they weren't bothering with the MP side of MW2, which is insane since I'd say it's a way better version of the COD 4 MP, which was great for it's time, but slow and really dated. With Modern Warfare killing it right now, it's probably just as well that they don't have a MP to compete with.


I honestly don't remember this campaign, though I did play it. Is this worth a stand alone release? Curious what the market actually is.
