Alright, so picture this—Xbox and Activision just pulled the curtain on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. I know, right? Two of these back-to-back like it’s just no big deal. Anyway, this cinematic reveal drops at the Summer 2025 Xbox Games Showcase, with Treyarch and Raven Studios joining forces after 2024’s entry. Never saw this coming, but here we are.
So, the trailer. Seriously, it’s like a fever dream. Think Remedy’s Alan Wake vibes but on another level. There’s this main dude, totally looks like he’s lost in his own head—cities folding in on themselves like some Inception stuff, TV sets giggling (weirdly creepy, I must say), and these red butterflies that seem to be made of… data? Oh, and don’t forget the chatty robot butlers guiding you like it’s all normal. Who’s in charge? Ah yes, David Mason from Black Ops 2. He’s back in the saddle since Black Ops 4 days, and I didn’t even know I missed him.
Here’s the scoop—2035 is the time, the world’s gone to pot, and chaos is like the new normal. Conflict and psychological warfare are tearing the place apart, tying back to Black Ops 2 and 6. So now, the Black Ops crew, with David Mason leading, are strapping up to face some puppet master who’s all about spreading fear like confetti.
Activision’s hyped up this new co-op campaign setup, so whether you’re flying solo or in a squad, it’s go time! They’re throwing in “near-future weaponry” (whatever that means) and a multiplayer mode that’s standing alone like its own thing, plus a zombies mode that’s still banging with that Dark Aether storyline.
When’s it dropping though? No idea. No date yet. But what we do know is, whenever it lands, you’ll find it on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC. Seems they’ve got all bases covered.
