Modern Warfare 2's Remastered Multiplayer Is "Cancelled", Claims Leaker

We live in an age full of remakes, remasters, and sequels, but it looks like Activision is putting their foot down and saying “no more!”, as an industry insider has claimed thatModern Warfare 2: Multiplayer Remasteredhas been cancelled.

The project was never officially announced by Activision, but back in 2020 we receivedModern Warfare 2: Campaign Remasteredwhich launched rather unexpectedly for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC. The remastered campaign included exclusive content forCall of Duty: Modern Warfare(2019) andWarzone, whilst also allowing players to jump back into the classic story with updated visuals.

But one question that was always on everyone’s minds, why not include the multiplayer too? Was the intention for it to arrive at a later date? Or did Activision simply not want to separate the player base from the latest title. Well, if leaks are to be believed, we’ll never know.

Leaker ClaimsModern Warfare 2: Multiplayer RemasteredHas Been Cancelled

According toRalphsValve, a new but trusted leaker in theCall of Dutycommunity,Modern Warfare 2’sremastered multiplayer mode has been cancelled by Activision.

There have been talks for some time surrounding the possible multiplayer remaster, with fellow industry insider Tom Henderson stating back in April that the game won’t be arriving in 2021, but not actually claiming it to be completely cancelled.

RalphsValve didn’t go into details about why the project was cancelled, but it could be related to the rumouredModern Warfare 2that is set to arrive in 2022. Things could get really confusing if we see a remasteredModern Warfare 2Multiplayer alongside a brand newModern Warfare 2game.

Activision has also found great success inCall of Duty: Warzone, with 2022’sModern Warfare 2rumoured to be arriving with a brand newWarzonemap featuring classicMW2maps as points of interest.

It’s also possible that a remastered multiplayer was just simply never in the works, and Activision only ever intended to remaster the campaign. One thing’s for sure, we’ll probably never know.

RalphsValve also recently revealed details surrounding a possibleGTA IVremaster, set to arrive in 2023. Full details of which can be found right here.
