Every gamer who loves Call of Duty games know that the classic Modern Warfare trilogy and the first two Black Ops titles are deemed as the franchise’s peak and are games that defined the FPS genre. While COD fans are eating good this year with the explosive Modern Warfare 4 dropping in October, it seems like two of the most iconic games Black Ops 1 and 2 are getting their own remasters for the PlayStation console.
Call of Duty Black Ops 1 and 2 Listing Spark Remaster Rumors for PS4 and PS5
PlayStation Game Size, an X account that tracks backend updates for PlayStation servers and new game listings on the PS4 and PS5 spotted a listing for Call of Duty Black Ops and Call of Duty Black Ops II. Both classic Call of Duty titles were reportedly spotted for both the PS4 and the PS5 platforms, along with their logos on the servers as well.

This leak, while legit since it comes from a trusted source, is the second piece of info COD fans have received after both the titles were rated in South Korea a while ago. But the info that has fans intrigued is that PlayStation Size also posted that both the titles will be shadow dropped during the Nintendo Direct livestream on June 9, 2026 at 7 am PT.
Yep – that’s right. A COD classic remaster being dropped during a Nintendo livestream. Who would’ve thought? Well, it isn’t just happenstance since Activision announced with the COD MW4 reveal that the game will also drop on Nintendo Switch 2 at launch. So it’s no surprise that months before the new mainline Call of Duty title drops on a Switch, the users can test a COD game like Black Ops on their consoles.
Furthermore, since Activision also added a Black Ops classics mode in BO7 recently, it’s clear that the devs are going back to its roots after both the latest Call of Duty Black Ops games failed to make an impression. With Infinity Ward back at the helm of developing a COD game, looks like Treyarch may need to recall on nostalgia for now and deliver optimized remasters of the beloved Black Ops 1 and 2 titles on previous gen and current gen consoles.
