A new test shows Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on PS5 Pro benefits from the PS4 version’s enhanced image quality feature, making the PS4 port appear crisper than the native PS5 version, though the PS5 version still edges it out in shadows and latency between builds seems negligible; for base PS5 players, the native PS5 version remains the safer choice.
Insider Gaming reports that Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 are getting PS4/PS5 ports with all four DLC packs for each title. It’s not yet clear whether the DLC is included with the base purchase or must be bought separately, though trophy leaks confirm the DLCs exist. Activision says these are ports, not remasters, and a release appears imminent, but pricing and inclusion details are still unconfirmed.
Xbox Store price cuts cut the cost of Call of Duty: Black Ops and Black Ops II ahead of their PS5 ports: base games are now $40 each, DLC packs $10 (down from $15), and the Season Pass $30 (down from $50), with MTX camos now free. There’s no official word yet on whether the PS5 ports will be native, include cross‑progression or cross‑play, or feature enhancements, but the pricing shift hints at possible PS5 pricing.
Treyarch announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops (2010) and Black Ops 2 (2012) will be ported to PlayStation 4/5 (by Iron Galaxy) and released in July, bringing these classics to Sony’s platforms after years on older systems. The news leaves Xbox and PC versions without announced fixes, despite long-standing issues like locked 720p resolution on backward-compatible Xbox builds, rampant hackers, and the absence of Game Pass or bundled DLC updates. It’s unclear whether PS3-era progress can transfer to the new ports, and the articles suggest the ports may rely on the existing server networks rather than new ones.
Treyarch announced that Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 are officially being ported to PS5 by Iron Galaxy, launching in July. These are not remasters but native PS5 ports of the PS3 versions, including campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies, with no announced Xbox Series X|S version.
Call of Duty 2025, codenamed 'Saturn', is a semi-futuristic sequel to Black Ops 2 set in the slight future around 2030. The game will feature the return of fan-favorite protagonists and a new villain. Plans for remastered maps have changed, with new and remastered maps now launching together. The game is expected to have an overhaul to its movement system, a classic 'pick 10' create-a-class, the gunfight game mode, and round-based zombies. It is unclear if the 'Carry Forward' feature from Call of Duty 2024 will be incorporated. Activision aims to capitalize on nostalgia while offering new content.
Leaks suggest that the 2025 Call of Duty game may feature remastered maps from Black Ops 2, similar to how Modern Warfare III includes all Modern Warfare 2 maps. The idea is reportedly being considered for the upcoming Treyarch title in 2024, but it is subject to change based on the success of MW3 and player reception. The game is expected to launch in November 2025, but details about its development and features remain uncertain.
