Does Modern Warfare 3 Remastered exist? Exploring the rumor and why it might be real

The internet is filled with rumors and leaks about Call of Duty. Being a huge franchise with millions of fans worldwide, this is pretty much expected. One of the latest rumors the community has been hearing for a while now is that the Modern Warfare 3 remastered has already been made and will come out soon.

Twitter user WarzoneQG has stated that the leaker TheGhostOfHope's sources have claimed that the third title's remaster is already complete. However, for now, no official information is available about it. As fans wait for MW2 reboot to come out, the community is speculating whether the MW3 remastered is real or not.

It is important to note that since the information hasn't been officially confirmed, it might not be true. Hence, readers should take the claims with a grain of salt.

Activision did top notch marketing, and ran many campaigns to hype up fans prior to the release. It was the highest grossing game of the year and had copies flying off the shelves of stores within seconds.
