Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered targets nostalgic fans

Call of Duty‘s creators are going for the nostalgic audience by including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered in a bundle with the next installment in the modern combat shooter series: Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Coming on Nov. 4, the new Call of Duty game will get bundled with a remake of an old one to ensure that this year’s Call of Duty keeps the franchise growing. That’s a big challenge, since Call of Duty: Black Ops III set new records in the fall of 2015, and because the Infinity Ward studio’s last game, Call of Duty: Ghosts, fell flat. And in case fans don’t like the sci-fi feel of Infinite Warfare, Activision can bank on loyal Modern Warfare fans coming to the party.
