Black Ops 1 and 2 Reportedly Readied for PS4 and PS5

If confirmed, the backend evidence points to nostalgia-driven remasters likely focused on single-player campaigns that fit Activision’s wider Call of Duty plan.

Overview

  • PlayStation Game Size found PS Store listings, extracted logos and patches on Sony’s servers on June 8–9, which multiple outlets say indicate near-ready PS4 and PS5 builds for Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops II.
  • A South Korean ratings board posted entries for both games earlier, providing a prior regulatory signal that matches the PlayStation-side discoveries.
  • No publisher or platform holder has officially confirmed the releases, and the expected shadow drop during the June 9 Nintendo Direct did not happen.
  • Reporting and precedent suggest the re-releases may be campaign-only remasters similar to Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered, leaving multiplayer inclusion unclear.
  • If released, the remasters would make two high-profile Treyarch-era titles available on modern consoles and could tie into Activision’s broader strategy around upcoming Call of Duty releases; watch for an official announcement that lists platforms, release dates and included modes.
