If you haven't made the jump to current-gen yet and you're worried that you might miss out on the next Call of Duty, then worry not because Activision has announced that Black Ops 3 is heading to both Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

"Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 has been designed to harness the full potential of the Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC," the blog post on Activision's site explained.

"However, we know that there are still some fans that haven't made the transition to the new console hardware, which is why we're happy to share that we're working with developers Beenox and Mercenary Technology on Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3."

That said, there will be some differences between the versions, and the multiplayer beta will be current-gen and PC only. Here's what Activision had to say on that front:

"The campaign mode on Xbox 360 and PS3 is currently in development with a goal of enabling two-player cooperative play, instead of the four-player cooperative campaign on next-gen. There will also be some other features and functionality built specifically for the new generation of consoles that cannot be supported on Xbox 360 and PS3."

Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 is set to launch on November 6, and you can read our impressions of the next shooter in the series right here. We're also expecting more news during E3 next week, so stay tuned for that.
