A wave of credible leaks has taken the Call of Duty community by storm recently, pointing towards the potential remasters of two of the franchise’s most beloved entries: Black Ops and Black Ops 2.
The trail of leaks regarding the CoD Black Ops remasters initially started in late May 2026, when South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee published fresh rating entries for both titles, filed on May 21 and deliberated on May 29. That alone was enough to raise eyebrows within the CoD community, since the same ratings body has a well-documented track record of surfacing games ahead of official announcements.
Notably, both the games required entirely new rating submissions rather than simple re-certifications, strongly hinting towards a potential remastered or significantly updated version being in the works rather than simple re-releases.
A few weeks later, things escalated further. PlayStation Game Size, a trusted leaker known for tracking backend updates on PlayStation servers, spotted listings for both titles on PS4 and PS5, complete with logos.
The account further notes that these appear to be straight ports rather than full remasters, closer to the Red Dead Redemption treatment, and will reportedly include modes beyond just the campaign.
Both the Black Ops and Black Ops 2 remasters are reportedly set to shadow drop during the Nintendo Direct livestream on June 9, 2026, a move that could be tied to Activision’s push to bring the Call of Duty franchise to Nintendo Switch 2.
Note that neither Microsoft nor Activision has officially confirmed anything as of yet, so take this news with a grain of salt.
However, with two separate leaks from reputable sources, it’s looking increasingly likely that fans will soon get to relive the nostalgia of the classic Black Ops era on modern hardware.
