Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 being prepped for next-gen?

by Gaetano Prestia Featured 19 Comments 26 Votes 2499 Views 06/10/2011 Back to News

Treyarch has posted a new job advert on its website, alluding that it is looking to bring Call of Duty: Black Ops to a "new console".

"Treyarch is seeking a Senior Platform Engineer for a position on the team bringing our hugely successful game to a new console."

That sounds like Black Ops 2 is on the way, but for what console?

With Vita and Wii U out over the next 12-14 months, and with the inevitable Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 successors yet to be revealed, the developer's job search definitely raises a few questions.

It may be that Black Ops in its current form is heading to Wii U, which would follow the tradition of current-gen consoles being announced for Nintendo's Wii successor, despite the fact the console isn't set for release until 2012.

Same as:

Nintendo with every Mario Kart game
Assassin's Creed Revelations Wii U
Batman: Arkham City Wii U
Every FIFA game
Ghost Recon Online Wii U

I agree that offering the same game up again is ridiculous, but the COD series is not the only one to do this. Although, it is easily the most frequent :S

I thought black ops was decent, didn't feel as polished as MW2 but good clean fun nevertheless

People hate black ops because it's associated with Call of Duty.

I say, "grow up" to those people...

3DS possibly? Now that the Circle Pad Attachment has been announced and Activision praising it for being more in line for their sort of games, this could very well be a possibility.

Hopefully some new consoles will be announced next year so we can all relish in better graphics standards again. 2006/7 were the last big years of graphical leaps because the new consoles had just come out.
Also dual core processors became affordable.

It means forking out on an upgrade but its worth it.
