Activision recently announced that it will be bringing Call of Duty Black Ops and Call of Duty Black Ops II to PlayStation formats this summer, but it’s now emerged via Trophy lists on Sony’s servers that it will be offering native PS4 and PS5 versions of both games.
While the Trophies are identical to the original PS3 versions of both Black Ops titles, it does confirm that they won’t be restricted to backwards compatibility on PS4 to cater to both consoles — PS5 owners will have their own native release for the first-person shooters. Both games include the campaign, multiplayer, and co-op zombies offering that were present in the original versions.
The original Call of Duty Black Ops launched in November 2010 for PS3, PC, DS, Wii, and Xbox 360. The game’s main story takes place during the 1960s in the midst of the Cold War, and follows Alex Mason, a CIA operative attempting to recall specific memories that will reveal a numbers station set to instruct Soviet sleeper agents to deploy chemical weapons across the US. The campaign takes players across locations including Cuba, the Soviet Union, US, Hong Kong, and more.
Meanwhile, Call of Duty Black Ops II arrived in November 2012 for PS3, PC, Wii U and Xbox 360, and brings the action forward into the 1980s. Here, players jump between Alex Mason and Frank Woods, as well as sections that the place in 2025 where you control David, Mason’s son. Unlike the original Black Ops, the sequel features non-linear gameplay and multiple endings.
