What to expect from BO7 & Warzone Season 2
Season 2’s biggest reveals so far are in Black Ops 7 Zombies, announced during 115 Day. The new Mars Survival map launches day one, bringing Caltheris-themed rewards and fresh loot to chase. The Sturmwolf 45 SMG and Hawker HX sniper rifle, plus future seasonal weapons, will rotate into the Mystery Box across all maps. Fan-favorite Cursed Survival also becomes a permanent mode, letting you tackle every Survival map with the classic Black Ops 3-style points system.
On the BO7 Multiplayer and Warzone front, Ranked Play is confirmed for Season 2, backed by an upgraded anti-cheat to keep the playing field level for competitive grinders. Expect new MP maps and modes, and major map updates to Verdansk, Hollow’s Haven, and a winter rework of Rebirth Island.
Endgame is expected to have its own shake-up with new skills, tracks, and dynamic world events designed to keep gameplay fresh.
As always, new weapons are introduced, as well as a fresh Battle Pass, delivering weapons, blueprints, operator skins, calling cards, and a stack of new cosmetics to unlock.
