South Korea’s Game Rating and Administration Committee (GRAC) has recently issued ratings for two entries in the Call of Duty franchise: Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
Both titles were originally developed by Treyarch and published by Activision — Black Ops first released on November 9, 2010, and Black Ops II on November 13, 2012 — for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
What the GRAC listings mean
The GRAC listings confirm that both Black Ops (2010) and Black Ops II (2012) have been submitted for classification in South Korea.
In journalistic terms: South Korea’s ratings board has formally rated Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II, signaling that those titles have been logged with the regulator.
Rewritten statement for clarity
Officials at the ratings body have recorded both games in their database.
It remains unclear from the public listings whether those submissions cover single-player content, multiplayer modes, or full-package re-releases.
Verified context and precedent
This is not without precedent.
South Korea’s ratings body previously classified an older Call of Duty title ahead of its commercial re-release; Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered was released for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC in November 2016 as part of certain Infinite Warfare editions, with a standalone PC release following in June 2017.
That prior classification fed industry attention because the Modern Warfare remaster arrived after a ratings entry.
Developer and platform details
Treyarch is the studio responsible for the Black Ops sub-series, which has been a major pillar of Activision’s Call of Duty roadmap.
The original Black Ops and Black Ops II shipped on PS3, Xbox 360 and Windows PC.
Any official re-releases or remastered editions would typically target current-generation platforms such as PlayStation 4/5, Xbox One/Series X|S and PC, but no publisher confirmation has been issued.
Timing and upcoming events
Industry watchers have noted the timing of these ratings against scheduled publisher showcases.
The Xbox Game Showcase was slated for Sunday, 7 June at 18:00 UK time, which could provide an opportunity for official announcements; however, GRAC listings alone do not constitute confirmation of release plans from Activision or Treyarch.
What to watch for
For now, the factual takeaway is straightforward: South Korea’s ratings authority has logged Call of Duty: Black Ops and Call of Duty: Black Ops II.
Fans and industry observers should await formal statements from Activision or Treyarch for details on packaging, platforms, release dates and whether multiplayer components are included.
