Treyarch wants Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 to be a more "social" game than anything it's made before. Some of that's achieved by the return of the series' co-op campaign, but this time around there's another weapon in Black Ops 7's arsenal. The core campaign is made up of 11 missions with a clear narrative arc, but once the credits roll, a 12th will unlock – Endgame, a vast PvE experience that's a true first for Call of Duty.
"We wanted to break the rules of what a campaign in Call of Duty could be," says associate creative director Miles Leslie. Endgame, he says, is "the final proving ground for everything that you've earned and learned" in the rest of the campaign. It's a bold new move for Call of Duty, but could provide a vital link between this year's epic story and the multiplayer action that'll keep pulling us back for the months to come.
