The latest entry in Activision''s annual shooter franchise is getting a paid Campaign DLC in the coming year, according to a Bloomberg reporter. Alan Schreier says the MW2 remake will be getting some new stuff, with the new instalment expected to arrive in 2024. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is expected to launch on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, according to reports.
The call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 expansion, which is being developed to commemorate 20 years of the franchise, is expected to include classic maps from the original 2009 Modern Warfare 2, along with other multiplayer maps from the series. According to the publisher''s Q3 earnings report in August, Activision claimed that it had planned to release new premium content in 2023. This came just after reports emerged, claiming that the publisher will skip an annual release cycle for the first time in 20 years.

Although the requirements aren''t clear, live service is usually a way to encourage existing functionality rather than chasing out a lacklustre CoD title on a regular basis. Schreier says this should be a reference to developer Treyarch''s title in 2024.
Developer Sledgehammer Games is planning a sequel to Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare, which is expected to launch in 2025. In fact, Activision''s poor sales figures were the reason why it refused to release a new CoD game last year. According to a Bloomberg report, the studio has been praised for its late entry.
TheGhostOfHope has also shared a list of unreleased operators coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Despite the majority of names, the list included big-name footballers, including Messi, Neymar, and Pogba. The tipster was not able to elaborate on the leak, noting they had no clue why football player names were included.
There''s a good possibility these are just temporary placeholders, or it may be set up to coincide with a 2022 Qatar World Cup event, scheduled to be held from November 20 to December 18. However, Call of Duty isn''t a stranger to odd collaborations, even partnering with the MAPPA studio anime Attack on Titan and the Warner Bros. film Godzilla vs. Kong, at the height of its peak.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been launched on PC, PlayStation 4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X on October 28, 2014. Digital pre-orders allow for immediate delivery of the campaign segment, starting October 20.
