MW2 & MW3 Ports Rumor Shuts Down, No New Ports Ahead

Rumors that Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 would receive ports have been debunked. GamingLeaksAndRumours and PlayStation Size pointed to pages referencing 2022–2023 versions rather than new ports, and Insider Gaming states there are no MW2/MW3 ports in development. In the meantime, PlayStation is set to receive Black Ops ports in July, and fans can still anticipate MW4-related news while MW2’s remastered campaign exists and MW3 Remastered has not been announced.

Black Ops PS Re-Releases Are Ports, Not Remasters, Activision Confirms

Activision confirms that Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 are being ported to PlayStation (PS4/PS5) rather than remastered, with Iron Galaxy handling the work and no PS5-native features expected. Pricing and bundle details are undisclosed. The piece warns that if servers rely on the older PS3/Xbox 360 infrastructure, multiplayer could suffer from hacked lobbies, since those services no longer receive security updates, whereas Xbox has backward compatibility and PlayStation does not.

Ireland Reshapes Fuel Policy to Defuse Street Blockades

Ireland unveiled more than €500 million in motor-fuel tax cuts to ease protests snarling ports and roads, after security forces cleared blockades at Galway, Foynes, and Dublin’s O’Connell Street. The package, contingent on emergency legislation, includes 10-cent per liter cuts on gasoline and diesel through July, on top of prior reductions, while delaying the May 1 carbon-tax hike to November and seeking EU approval for the diesel discount. Authorities warned the National Emergency Coordination Group that disruption to health and other services could persist even if protests end, and Sinn Féin was set to motion a no-confidence vote over the government’s handling of fuel taxes.

Ireland mobilizes army to clear port-blocking protests over fuel taxes

The Irish government dispatched the army to remove trucks and tractors blocking key ports (Foynes and Whitegate) and major roads, citing risks to fuel supply and public health as protesters push for deeper fuel-tax cuts. Prime Minister Micheál Martin said reopening ports was essential and rejected talks with protesters who lack industry backing, while opposition criticized the escalation; the disruption threatens Ireland’s imports and essential services like water purification chemical supply.

Zelda’s 40th Anniversary Preview: Ports, Remakes, and a Quiet Celebration

For Zelda’s 40th, predictions suggest Nintendo won’t launch a major new Zelda game this year; Tears of the Kingdom (2023) and Echoes of Wisdom (2024) have consumed development time. More likely are ports or HD remasters—Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD on Switch (or Switch 2)—and possible HD remakes of Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask, along with smaller announcements like amiibo or a teaser trailer, rather than a full-blown anniversary Direct.

Sony's PC Port Strategy Tightens: Fewer First-Party Singles on PC, Insider Claims

An insider says Sony will release far fewer first-party single-player PC ports going forward, prioritizing its PS5 ecosystem; some ports may still arrive, but the shift could exclude live-service or multiplayer titles. Death Stranding 2 remains headed to PC, and prior ports (Spider-Man, Ghost of Tsushima, Horizon) are cited as modest performers, underscoring a strategy aimed at bolstering console sales rather than PC ROI.

The event, rumored for Feb. 3–5, could feature third‑party ports such as Elden Ring, Borderlands 4, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, with additional chatter about Call of Duty, Halo remakes, Sea of Thieves, Diablo 4, and Starfield ports, though nothing is confirmed and major new exclusives are not anticipated.
