So get this: there’s some juicy chatter going on about a double whammy of throwback greatness hitting our beloved PS5 soon. And if you’re anything like me, who can barely keep up with all these console updates, this might just be the excuse you needed to dust off your controllers. Apparently, the folks in Australia—love ya, Down Under!—kind of spilled the beans (probably over a coffee, who knows?) on some Call of Duty classics making a comeback. Yeah, I’m talking about Modern Warfare 2 and 3—those PS3 legends.
Now here’s the kicker—or not, depending on how unpredictable you thought Activision was—so bear with me. Seems like these Call of Duty gems might also strut their stuff on the PS4, all in the name of cross-gen. Whatever that means in today’s tech jargon, right? Modern Warfare 2 got its fancy remastering done a couple of years back for the PS4. Yet, if this little nugget from Insider Gaming holds any water (big if there!), we’re gonna see both PS4 and PS5 versions together. Like a gaming family reunion!
Modern Warfare 3? Oooh, that one’s been the stuff of urban legend—of the “will they, won’t they” variety. But now, it seems, there’s some action brewing. And yeah, bundles are apparently the new black, because Activision’s apparently got this under wraps for both PS4 and PS5. Pretty neat, huh?
So here’s what I think might happen—because speculation is the spice of life, am I right? —they might just throw the updated version into the PS Store. Imagine you go for Modern Warfare 2 in the unidentified future and bam, you get both PS4 and PS5 versions, one ticket for two roller coaster rides.
But heads up, don’t hold your breath for online chaos or multiplayer mayhems. Word on the street is these remasters might be all about that solo grind. Oh, and fingers crossed for those shiny Platinum trophies swimming in the PS5 sea. Could be the perfect excuse to revisit these classics or to finally jump in if you missed them the first time. Anyway, why did I even bother waking up so early to write this? Oh yeah, nostalgia.
