Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is reportedly getting a expansion in late 2023. As per reliable tipster TheGhostOfHope, the latest entry in Activision's annual shooter franchise is getting a paid ‘Campaign DLC' next year. Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier corroborated the claim, stating that the MW2 remake will be getting some “new stuff,” with the new instalment launching in 2024. Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 drops October 28 across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X.

Last week, the tipster revealed key details on the Activision claimed that it had plans to release “new content” in 2023. This came right after reports emerged, stating that the publisher will be skipping an annual release cycle for the first time in 20 years.

The year 2023 will not see a mainline Treyarch's title, which is getting a two-year life cycle as well.

Developer poor sales figures were the reason why Activision pushed back the release of a new CoD game. “Last year's entry, Call of Duty: Vanguard, failed to meet Activision's sales expectations, leading executives to suspect that it had been cannibalized by the previous year's game,” reads a Bloomberg report.

In what seems like an unlikely crossover, TheGhostOfHope also Pogba. The tipster was unable to elaborate on the leak, noting they have “no clue why” football player names were included.

There's a good chance these are just temporary placeholders, or it could be set up to coincide with a 2022 Qatar Godzilla vs. Kong, at the height of its peak.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches October 28, across Xbox Series S/X. Digital pre-orders grant early access to the campaign segment, starting October 20.
