Electronic Arts is no longer the only major third-party publisher planning to cash in on remasters as Activision has now announced that it intends on launching a number of remastered titles and reimaginings of previous games in the future. This information comes as part of the company's latest earnings call, stating that these reveals are set to take place later in 2020.
The immediate question then becomes: which games and franchises are making a comeback? Whatever they are, it appears we can be assured they'll be of a high quality if Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro: Reignited Trilogy are anything to go by. One possible contender is the return of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, which was rumoured a few months back to already have remakes in the works. Meanwhile, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Remastered is something that has supposedly been bumping around for years now.
We can speculate all we like, but at least we can be rest assured that these reveals are coming at some point later this year. What do you hope Activision plans to bring back? Share your predictions in the comments below.

I hope they do them well.
Oh please bring back Tony Hawk. I’ve been dying for a proper AAA skating game. Session and Skater XL are decent, with a lot of care put into them but they’re barebones, lacking the polish Skate and Tony Hawk had. Even the more ridiculous games such as Underground 2 was still immense fun. I reckon a new game set in the late 90s would be the best way forward. Original cast, done up in shiny new graphics, new and returning levels and improved physics. Of course the soundtrack would be a great thing to have, plenty of licensed tunes but all authentic to the time and scene. Real clothing for avatars would be a key addition for TH too, as it was implemented brilliantly in Skate. I so hope it becomes a reality but I really don’t think it will when they can make money from reselling Modern Warfare 2’s map pass for a higher price than the original.
Some more Crash and Spyro remasters would be great.
@RogerRoger I dont know how it works but doesnt EA have the game publishing rights or does that not count with remasters?
I would kill for a Black Ops remake
Tenchu would fit in with current trends
PLEASE REMASTER THUG2
Remake Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 and I’ll be headbanging to Alien Ant Farm like it’s 2001.
Believe it or not but I’d love to see an Activision Atari 2600 Collection! Having games like River Raid, Stampede, Megamania etc would be awesome!
@joey302 I can’t even begin to think how much time I spent on River Raid.
@SoulChimera still a great shooter today and stands the test of time! Played the hell outta that game! I was also addicted to Stampede, Sea Quest, Megamania and Kaboom!! 🤣😁 The Playstation 2 had an awesome Activision Collection like 50 2600 games! Would love to have it on PS4!
More remasters and remakes...yay 🙄
Maybe "Running Wild"? LOL.

Tony Hawk please. It needs to be redeemed after the disaster of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5.
Tony Hawk 1 HD does exist, it didn’t do very well. Also, a lot of the licensed music was missing.
EA haven't hardly done any Remasters of these title,
Where's
Mass Effect Trilogy
SSX Trilogy
Mercenaries
Need For Speed Underground 1 and 2
Dead Space Trilogy
Just to name a few
I'd honestly like less remasters and more new IP's (and more from current IP's). As fun as games were in the past, they're in the past.
please give me a new Tony Hawk PS 2
and allow you to put your own music in
Ehhh... who the hell wants a COD Remaster? Theirs a new one every year.
hopefully we get a tenchu trilogy for the first 3 games
@RogerRoger Ah ok thanks for the info i would not mind THPS2 with the original soundtrack. 😃
Rescue on Fractalus, please.
