The rumors and leaks have been confirmed: CoD: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is actually here! To be exact, the new edition of the shooter from 2009 is now called "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered", because it only contains the solo campaign, the multiplayer is missing.
What's the big catch? The remaster of Modern Warfare 2 can initially only be played on PlayStation 4. You can now buy and download the game on PlayStation Network for 25 euros, while we have to wait a little longer for the PC version and the Xbox One edition.
And when is the PC release of MW2? It will follow almost a month later on April 30, 2020. At least that says a tweet from the official Call of Duty Twitter channel.

CoD: Modern Warfare 2 – First trailer for the remaster released
What's in the remaster of Modern Warfare 2?
As the name suggests, it is a revised version of the MW2 campaign. That is, in the 25 euro package is only the single player mode, in which we can play the story about the villain Vladimir Makarov again.
Multiplayer mode is not part of the remaster. So if you want to start again on the good old MW2 maps like Terminal or Underpass, you have to fall back on the original from 2009. In the current CoD: Modern Warfare you can still gamble on the MW2 classic Rust. It is not known whether other maps will follow.
In our column about the new CoD: Modern Warfare 2, our shooter expert Phil Elsner explains why it was absolutely the right decision to leave multiplayer out of the remaster:

MW2 without multiplayer? Yes of course!
For this, the remaster contains at least in the PS4 version some extras for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and for the Battle Royale mode Warzone. It is particularly important the classic ghost skin, which lets us play the old MW hero in its original form, his previously released skin offered some optical changes and was not liked by every fan.
Here are the other bonuses from the Modern Warfare 2 Remastered package:
- UDT ghost skin
- 2 weapon plans "Task Force" and "One for One"
- Gun Talisman "Flippers"
- Enforcer "Belly Flop"
- "Stay Frosty" teasing
- Animated business card "No Easy Days"
- Emblem of ghost
- 2 Battle Pass increments
