In a thrilling development for gamers, Activision has officially confirmed the next chapter in its blockbuster franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The announcement was accompanied by a cinematic trailer titled The Guild: Together, We Won’t Fear Tomorrow, which offers a tantalizing first glimpse into the game’s near-future setting. A full worldwide reveal for the title is scheduled for tomorrow, August 19.
The new installment, which is being developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, is set in the year 2035 and will follow the events of both Black Ops II and the recent Black Ops 6. According to the official synopsis, the story will focus on a Black Ops team led by David Mason, who must confront a manipulative new enemy that weaponizes fear. In a statement to Variety, Activision’s chief marketing officer Tyler Bahl said the campaign will be “bold and thought-provoking,” drawing on themes of technology, robotics, and the military-industrial complex to amplify the tension that defines the Black Ops experience.
The game is set to deliver on the three core pillars of the franchise. The developers are promising an innovative co-op campaign, a signature multiplayer experience, and a brand new chapter in the fan-favorite round-based Zombies mode, ensuring a robust package for all types of players.
While the full gameplay reveal is just a day away, Activision has confirmed that the game is scheduled for release in the fall of this year. In a major move for the franchise, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be available on day one with a Game Pass subscription, continuing Microsoft’s strategy of bringing its biggest titles to the service at launch. With a gripping premise and the promise of a full reveal imminent, the hype for the next Black Ops is now in full swing.
