Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 Headed to New Platforms Next Month
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 are officially receiving new ports next month, handled by developer Iron Galaxy and slated for PlayStation platforms, as reported by IGN South Africa.
Two of the most celebrated entries in the franchise are making a comeback. According to a recent report by IGN South Africa, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 are officially being ported to new platforms this July. Treyarch confirmed the news, revealing that development duties are being handled by Iron Galaxy, the studio known for its work on Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 and the recent Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4 project.
While the announcement is great news for players wanting to revisit the golden era of the series, the initial rollout comes with some platform limitations. The upcoming ports are currently announced exclusively for PlayStation systems. Earlier leaks point toward releases for the PS4, which will also make them playable on PS5 through backwards compatibility. However, questions remain regarding whether native PS5 versions are in the works, leaving current-gen players waiting for full technical specifications from the publisher.
This move taps right into the ongoing hunger for classic multiplayer experiences and legacy content preservation. Black Ops 2 in particular has continued to pull in impressive sales numbers years after its original launch, proving that the appetite for these classic maps and campaigns is as strong as ever in the modern community. As live service games dominate current hardware, bringing these foundational titles forward gives both veteran fans and newer players an easy way to experience what made the era so defining.
