Often cited as one of the best first person shooters of recent years, Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare fans were pleased to hear that the game was receiving a high definition remaster. This piece of good news turned sour, when it was then announced that the only way to get the remastered version of Modern Warfare would be to purchase one of the premium editions of Call of Duty Infinite Warfare.
It would now appear that there are plans to release the game separately, if an interview with developer Raven Studios, who have worked on several multiplayer modes for the Call of Duty series in the past is any indication. Although the purpose of the interview was to confirm the availability of the remainder of the game’s maps, and they would be available for free, director David Pellas seemingly gave away plans for a individual release to the bonus content.
“What we announced before today was that we were going to offer 10 maps on launch, and that’s still true. The announcement today is that the six remaining maps we are actually going to be delivering to anyone who purchases Modern Warfare Remastered, anyone who owns it or a version of Infinite Warfare that comes with it, they’re going to get all 16 of the maps for no additional cost.”
Do you believe this interview reveals plans for a separate future release, or was this a case of being misquoted? At present, Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered will be released in Europe on November 4th 2016 as a free bonus for anyone who purchases Call of Duty Infinite Warfare’s Legacy, Legacy Pro and Digital Deluxe Editions.
