The information first leaked through the “dataminer” Senescallo, which is dedicated to investigating game files from the Call of Duty series to find future news. He found ads for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 remaster in the 2019 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare data and the recent Battle Royale, Call of Duty: Warzone. The PlayStation Store page in Germany, in turn, leaked images and the game’s initial trailer before it was taken down. According to sources on the Eurogamer website, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 remaster had been ready for a long time and was just waiting for an opportune moment to be released. As its name suggests, the game would only include the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 campaign remastered with new improved visuals, but without its popular multiplayer mode. The story follows the events of 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, which was also remastered in 2016, with a pursuit of Russian terrorist Vladimir Makarov. During his journey, the player even goes through a phase in a slum in Rio de Janeiro. At the end of the leaked trailer, there is also an “Underwatch Demo Team Classic Ghost Bundle” package, with extras from Modern Warfare 2 for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone. The content would offer a Ghost skin for its operator, blueprints of the “Task Force” and “One for One” weapons, a new execution, flipper charm, voice clip, background card and a Ghost emblem.
