Rumors about the return of two classics from the Call of Duty series have gained momentum in recent days. ListingsCall of Duty Black Ops e Call of Duty: Black Ops IIappeared on PlayStation servers, indicating versions for PS4 and PS5.
The PlayStation Game Size account, known for tracking behind-the-scenes updates to the PS Store, shared images of game icons. The publication generated immediate speculation among fans, especially as it coincided with the Nintendo Direct period. Many came to believe a surprise announcement during the event.
So far, Activision has not confirmed the information. However, the evidence accumulates. About two weeks ago, South Korea’s age rating body registered both titles, which usually precedes releases or reissues.
What the files reveal
The file sizes also draw attention: around 22.7 GB forBlack Opsand 30.3 GB forBlack Ops II. These numbers suggest direct ports that include additional content, such as multiplayer maps and Zombies modes, rather than full remasters with graphical overhauls.
The original games, released in 2010 and 2012 by Treyarch, are considered some of the most acclaimed in the franchise.Black Opsfollows CIA agent Alex Mason in a Cold War conspiracy plot, while the sequel expands the universe with time travel and iconic villain Raul Menendez. Both stand out for their cinematic campaign and online modes that marked their time.
Why this matters to fans
On PlayStation 5, titles would run with compatibility improvements, such as faster loading, higher resolution and support for DualSense features, even without a total rebuild. For many players, the appeal is revisiting classic campaigns and legendary maps like Nuketown and Tranzit on modern hardware.
Timing also fuels theories. Some fans point to June 19th as a possible symbolic date, as it is a notable date in the lore ofBlack Ops II. Others speculate about a discreet arrival (shadow drop) or inclusion in services like Game Pass, although nothing is confirmed.
While waiting for official news from Activision, fans follow social media and forums in search of more details. If confirmed, the ports could bring back generation-defining multiplayer experiences, now accessible on current consoles.
