Black Ops 7 Release Date
Activision has officially confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is set to launch in 2025, continuing the story from Black Ops 6 in a rare back-to-back series release. The full reveal is expected later this summer, likely during a dedicated Call of Duty showcase or major gaming event.
Black Ops 7 Campaign Story
Set in the year 2035, over 40 years after the events of Black Ops 6, the world is reeling from the chaos sparked by global conflicts and psychological warfare. Black Ops 7 picks up with the return of David Mason, who, alongside his team, must face off against a new kind of enemy — one who weaponizes fear itself. Fans of Black Ops 2 will also recognize familiar ties, as the game bridges narrative gaps between past and present.
Black Ops 7 All Confirmed Modes
Black Ops 7 will feature a solo and co-op campaign, something fans missed in BO6. The near-future setting introduces advanced tech and warfare systems that bring a fresh layer to tactical storytelling. On the multiplayer side, players can expect new maps, futuristic gear, and signature fast-paced gameplay.
But the biggest return is Round-Based Zombies, taking players deep into the Dark Aether once again for what’s teased as the “next twisted chapter.” This confirms that traditional zombie survival will be a core feature, much to the relief of long-time fans.
Black Ops 7 Will Launch on Game Pass
Black Ops 7 will be available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC via Steam, Battle.net, and Xbox PC App. It will also launch day one on Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, bringing massive accessibility for subscribers. Notably, there was no mention of Nintendo Switch 2, despite Microsoft’s long-term Call of Duty deal with Nintendo.
