Black Ops 7's unveiling trailer has made me absolutely certain that it surpasses all previous versions in excess.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, the latest instalment in the popular first-person shooter series, was unveiled at the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 event. Developed by Treyarch and Raven, this direct sequel to Black Ops 6 is not being released as a standalone game, but as part of an offering.
The trailer for Black Ops 7 showcased stunning visuals, featuring sights like neon-lit rooftops of Tokyo. However, some fans have expressed concerns about the frequent glimpses of large open environments, which resemble the maps from the open-world 'Open Combat Missions' of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3.
The campaign for Black Ops 7 takes place after the events of Black Ops 6, with part of the story said to take place in Avalon, a map initially rumoured for Warzone. The final mission of the campaign is confirmed to be a repeatable PvE (player versus enemy) experience named Endgame, which appears to resemble a Warzone match. This inclusion of Endgame, described as a repeatable PvE "social experience" within the campaign structure, has been a topic of discussion among fans, with some expressing skepticism or disappointment.
The story of Black Ops 7 is not just a continuation of its predecessor, but also faces criticism related to reusing content from Warzone's battle royale and incorporating PvE social experiences like Endgame, which some fans found disappointing or misaligned with their expectations for the Black Ops series[2][4][5].
Despite the anticipation, the anticipated gameplay reveal for Black Ops 7 left a sour taste, as no new information about the multiplayer or zombies aspects of the game was provided during the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 event. However, more of the game will be shown at the Call of Duty Next on September 30, 2025.
The game is set to launch on November 14, 2025, marking a later release date than usual, possibly indicating that more development time has been allocated. The trailer demonstrated the four-player co-op mode, but no new gameplay footage for this aspect was shown.
While the Gamescom Opening Night Live 2025 event has concluded, the anticipation for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 remains high, with fans eagerly awaiting more details about the multiplayer and zombies aspects of the game at the Call of Duty Next event later this month.
