TL;DR
  • Release date set to November 14, 2025
  • 16 maps + 20v20 Skirmish, refined movement, overclocking gear
  • Open Beta in early October, early access via pre-order/Game Pass

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is finally official. Launching on 14 November 2025, it brings a co-op campaign, a major Zombies overhaul, and multiplayer built for chaos. Whether you’re into solo missions, squad-based PvE, or classic 20v20 shootouts, it’s all in. Treyarch and Raven are behind the scenes again—no big surprises there—but the real shift is how everything from kills to unlocks now links across Campaign, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. No more grinding separate modes.
