Compared to previous years, 2026 is a pretty good time to be a Call of Duty fan. Not only is the most recent game in the series, Modern Warfare 4, reviewing and selling much better than expected, but Activision has also been giving veteran fans of the series something to chew on with modern ports. Both the first Black Ops and its futuristic sequel were ported to modern consoles earlier this year, notably including the entire multiplayer experience. While they weren’t amazing remasters by any stretch and had a higher price tag than most would like, they did let us get a sweet taste of COD nostalgia, one that’s seemingly coming back around for another beloved game. Modern Warfare 2 Port Is In The Works, Age Rating Suggests Back To Rust We Go As pointed out by scott1swann on the GamingLeaksAndRumours subreddit, the official Australian Classification has a new listing for the original Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, aka the best and most influential game in the whole franchise. The listing was filed on October 1, but seems to have only just been spotted recently. Although the consoles for the new release of Modern Warfare 2 aren’t listed and we don’t get much information beyond it being rated R18+, this is almost certainly a modern port of the game like Black Ops recently got. That means it’ll be a fairly simple remaster that includes the full campaign and the beloved multiplayer. I hate to admit it, but this would be a day-one purchase for me with zero thought. Nostalgia is a powerful drug. In case there’s any doubt that this is a port of the original Modern Warfare 2, and more importantly, includes its online modes, the 2009 campaign already got a proper remaster a few years ago. There’s no reason for Activision to re-release that since it’s easily accessible on all platforms, so this is almost definitely a Black Ops-style port. As for when we can expect to lose our lives to MW2 again, it’s unlikely that it’ll appear before 2027, in my opinion. Modern Warfare 4 only just launched, so Activision and Xbox are surely going to want all eyes on that for as long as possible before breaking out the money-printing port of Modern Warfare 2.
