What to expect from Black Ops 7
The BO7 Co-Op Campaign supports up to four players and follows David “Section” Mason leading a team against a covert company known as The Guild. Set in 2035, the story brings back familiar faces like Raul Menéndez and introduces new ones such as Emma Kagan, unfolding across diverse settings, from futuristic Japan to the Mediterranean coast and psychological sequences.
Multiplayer remains the heart of Call of Duty, featuring 16 signature maps for 6v6 matches, two large-scale 20v20 Skirmish maps, and the Nuketown 2025 version during preseason, and more content coming in the first season. It also introduces an improved Omnimovement system, adding fluid mobility options like wall-jumping for more dynamic combat.
Zombies returns in its beloved round-based format, with Treyarch calling this the most ambitious iteration yet. You can expect sprawling maps such as Ashes of the Damned and Astra Malorum, packed with Easter eggs and lore-rich Dark Aether storylines. BO7 Zombies also brings back Survival maps and Dead Ops Arcade 4, along with expanded customization options that include new weapons, field upgrades, ammo mods, and more to keep your undead slaying adventure thrilling.
