@XRAE2KYT We need the golden age cods on current gen. These games are so good to this day. A lot of new players havenโt experienced them yet either. It would be a dream.
XBOX reportedly intended to use Call of Duty and Activision revenue to subsidize some of Xbox Studios revenue decline, but then Black Ops 7 underperformed, causing even more revenue issues for Xbox

Also theyโve been shutting rumors and leaks down that โarenโt trueโ yet this hasnโt even been acknowledged so weโre assuming this is a valid leak and waiting. Iโm not expecting them to say a release date or anything but at least a confirmation on whatโs going on. @CallofDutyCM
@CallofDuty just loves shutting down the hype. This is probably the most hype the community has been in a very long time and they donโt want to say anything about this. This is exactly why the franchise is falling each and every day. They couldโve capitalized on this. ๐
4 days inside the Black Ops 1 & 2 files. Here's everything I found ๐งต๐
๐ ONLINE / MULTIPLAYER
Both games declare a "joinSession" intent in param.json. In plain terms: it lets you jump straight into a friend's online session from the PS4/PS5 system UI, invites and Game Base, without the in-game menu. Standard setup for games with active online MP. The infrastructure is built into the package, so multiplayer is very likely on board (not 100% officially confirmed yet).
๐ฎ PS5 ENHANCEMENTS
Even though these are PS4 builds, they carry PS5-enhanced flags. In 2026, on a current-gen enhanced build, that means one thing: expect 120fps. Warzone already ran 120fps on PS5 via the PS4 version until 2022, so the tech path is proven. A port shipping without it would be the real surprise.
๐ ๏ธ MORE THAN A BASIC PORT
This isn't a lazy 1:1 copy, and it isn't Xbox-style backwards compatibility (running the old build as-is). Real work went in: new languages that weren't in the originals, plus PS5-enhanced flags baked into the build. It can't run on legacy PS3 servers either, so it relies on modern PSN online infrastructure. Not a full remake, but clearly an enhanced, worked-on port.
๐ NEW LANGUAGES (not in the originals)
Indonesian, Thai, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, Norwegian, Czech, Danish. Real localization work, not a copy-paste.
๐ TROPHIES
Trophy IDs pulled straight from the files:
BO1 โ NPWR59944 | BO2 โ NPWR59723
One unified trophy set per game, shared across all regions (EU/US/JP). Progression follows you regardless of version.
๐ฆ DLC
DLC uses separate Content IDs, with EU/JP versions redirecting to the US master listing for DLC distribution.
๐ MISSING EU VERSION
BO2 still has no EU version on the backend (only US and JP), unlike BO1 which has all three. A full launch would likely need the EU build to appear first, so watch for it as a signal ๐
๐๏ธ THE "2019 DATE"
I first reported this, and it's now debunked: it's simply the PKG packaging method's creation date, NOT a development date. Correcting it since it spread widely.
๐ TROPHY LINKS
These IDs are verified in the files. The PSNProfiles pages are still 404 for now, but should populate once the games go live:

Bookmark and check back ๐
๐ญ MY TAKE (opinion only, not from the files)
๐ฏ FOV slider: very likely, basically expected for any modern port now.
๐ Platforms: we only got the PS4 version because that's the one that leaked, NOT because it's PS4-only. And with MW4 confirmed on Switch 2, a Switch version isn't far-fetched at all.
๐ฎ Xbox & PC: very likely too. Sony has no exclusivity here, the Xbox/PC backends just don't leak like PlayStation's does. Absence of a leak isn't absence of a version.
Gone through everything readable in the files. This is the max we can pull without the decryption keys. No official date yet, but it's all launch-ready. A matter of WHEN, not IF ๐
What are you replaying first, BO1 or BO2? ๐
@Treyarch Acknowledge what youโre doing with bo1 and 2 on ps4 and 5. Your community is finally the most hype itโs been and you just want to stay silent. Capitalize on this!
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella on the state of Xbox:
"We've invested a lot for the last 25 years. We have to turn this into a sustainable business. The challenge we have is, we've not been monetizing that entertainment. In fact, we've been subsidizing that entertainment."
@Jehkosa Honestly if they updated the games with cleaned up servers, some graphic updates, and maybe an fov slider, I wouldnโt mind paying the money.
๐จ Black Ops 1 & 2 may be MORE than just ports. What's inside ๐
๐ New languages NOT in the OG (full list below)
๐ท๏ธ REMASTER_TYPE flag, odd for a port
๐ฎ PS5-enhanced flags โ improvements expected
๐ค Internal date: August 2019
They've been cooking since long time ๐
Okay @CallofDuty@CallofDutyCM Iโm done with the ๐๐ฅคevent. What do I do now? Oh I know. Play bo1 and bo2 on my PlayStation. Oh wait I forgot. @Activision just has to release it. ๐
@princebacku@CallofDutyCM Who tf you talking to dick head. Everyone including your dumb ass wants this shit just as bad as anyone else. Take a fucking seat for me buddy. No one needs your opinion.
