The second Call of Duty title to launch under the Xbox umbrella, following Microsoft’s record-setting acquisition of Activision Blizzard King, is set to drop later this fall. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 was officially teased with a three-minute trailer that rounded up the end of the Xbox Games Showcase during Summer Game Fest before receiving an official reveal headlining Geoff Keighley's Opening Night Live ceremonies.
The game marks the first time in Black Ops history that lead studio Treyarch has released a sequel back-to-back with its predecessor. The change was ushered in previously for the Call of Duty franchise with the launch of the Modern Warfare 2 and 3 games in 2022 and 2023, respectively.
