UPDATE ONE: More on today's news that MW2 Remastered will not include a mulitplayer mode. Call of Duty specialists at Charlie Intel have provided their own sources on today's rumour, which claims there will be no online multiplayer for the game. New materials have reportedly been supplied from a Raven Software employee which reveal that there will be no muliplayer mode. The campaign-only remaster project will apparently cost less than the usual standard price of a new game, with a recent retail listing suggesting that it will cost around $25. Modern Warfare Remastered developed by Raven Sofware, meanwhile, cost $40 when it was released. "The materials sent to CI also stated that Raven Software is not developing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered at all," information from the Call of Duty site reveals. "Although Raven Software did develop the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered in 2016, it does not appear they are working on this title in any way according to the material CI reviewed."

ORIGINAL: Reports today suggest Activision are doing things a little differently with their latest project. The MW2 Remastered release date has been rumoured for 2018but now new details have emerged on its launch. Media sources have confirmed that while MW2 Remastered is real and in development, it will be missing a key feature. Eurogamer have revealed that the new Call of Duty project won’t have a multiplayer mode, something fans have picked up on straight away. “So, we can expect Modern Warfare 2 Remastered ahead of the release of Black Ops 4 in October, but the omission of the multiplayer portion of the game is curious given the enduring fan love for it, and the fact the successful Modern Warfare Remastered did include multiplayer,” Eurogamer reports. This would suggest that Activision are looking to a campaign release only in 2018, which will surprise a lot of people. It should be noted that there has been no official comment made by Activision on the subject, although two separate sources have apparently confirmed this news now. Another report out today also suggests that Raven Software is not working on the new remaster project.

They were the team behind the original Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered, which came as part of a bundle with Infinite Warfare. There have been rumours that a development team at Beenox is handling the project instead. Rumours of a MW2 Remastered release date arriving soon have been floating around for sometime, and it appears more evidence has arrived to back them up. Having already seen Activision confirm that they’re looking into launching new remaster projects over the next few years, we’ve also been given a big hint on what that might be. A new retail listing suggests that Modern Warfare 2 Remastered will be arriving in 2018. Unfortunately it came with just a placeholder release date, although this would suggest that the game is being primed for 2018. April 30 seems like an unlikely date for Activision to launch a new COD, who have actually yet to confirms its existence.
