Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is interesting, to say the least. It's a sequel to both Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6, while also making the former mostly non-canon, and we weren't even expecting another direct sequel in the same vein as 2023's Modern Warfare 3 to begin with. Nevertheless, it's doing the usual business of the annual CoD release: a new campaign, refreshed multiplayer and zombies modes, and a few other bits and bobs. And I hope you like how it's shaping up already, because you'll be playing it forever (at least until the next game releases). Oh, and potentially meta items are locked behind a lengthy and repetitive new grind, because of course they are.
While the full multiplayer reveal is being held back until Call of Duty Next on September 30, Treyarch has already been spilling the beans on what to expect from Black Ops 7. We're getting 16 6v6 maps and two 20v20 maps at launch, 30 weapons (16 of which have "never [been] seen before in the franchise"), a new PvE mode, and—oh, what's that?—weekly challenges and weapon prestige.
