Activision says that players can expect many more remasters and “reimagined experiences” from in 2020 after the success of revived franchises like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. During the Q4 FY2019 investor call earlier this week, Activision Blizzard CFO Dennis Durkin revealed that in addition to new games and IP, Activision “will continue to tap into our portfolio of beloved IP to bring several remastered and reimagined experiences to our players in 2020, which we’ll announce closer to launch.” [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=every-ign-call-of-duty-review&captions=true"] Activision already released several successful remasters including the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited. In terms of “reimaginings,” players can look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare which was a soft reboot of Infinity Ward’s 2007 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Activision has a library of dormant IPs like Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater. Thre are also several Blizzard titles that could be remastered including Diablo. Though the recent Warcraft 3: Reforged remaster has been met with criticism from the community. [ignvideo url="https://www.ign.com/videos/2017/06/29/crash-bandicoot-n-sane-trilogy-review"] Considering the N. Sane Trilogy sold over 10 million units, remastering older properties has paid off for Activision and could be a viable strategy during a year Activision says could be relatively quiet for them. The company’s only other announcement during the investor call was for a new Call of Duty game in 2020, though the company didn’t reveal who the developer on this year’s annual entry is.
