Alright, picture this: Call of Duty League Championship 2025 Grand Finals, and there’s Lawrence Metten – all cool and collected. And he’s drawing this wild connection between Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Black Ops 2. But seriously, why am I even thinking about this now? Anyway, here’s the scoop. Black Ops 7 picks up right where Black Ops 2 left off. Yeah, direct sequel vibes, people!
Flashback to June 8th at the Xbox Games Showcase – feels like just yesterday, huh? They dropped the bombshell: Black Ops 7 is back with our guy, David Mason. He’s in charge in 2035, leading this elite team against some nasty bad buy who gets his kicks from scaring everyone. And brace yourself, ’cause Raul Menendez is supposedly peeking around the corner again. Oh, plus, co-op campaigns, multiplayer madness, and Zombies. Classic Call of Duty, right? Makes me think of those glory days around Black Ops 2 – seriously good times. Metten’s onto something, for sure about Black Ops 2 being a touchstone.
Also, they slapped this cool cover art — which, by the way, I don’t even know why it caught my eye. It’s got this sleek, intense look, really screams action. Anyway, where was I?
Got lost there a bit, but yeah, Metten casually mentioned how if you’re into Black Ops 2, you’ll dig Black Ops 7. Fans apparently went nuts over the trailer. And here’s a fun tidbit — they had a ton of creative freedom this time. Loving the sound of that, feels like fresh ideas and everything.
Oh! And let’s not forget about the multiplayer stuff because – let’s be real – that’s where the action is. Maps, weapons, gear, all new. But then Metten shushes up about the rest. They’re setting up a big reveal this summer, but who even knows when.
Fast forward to when it drops later this year on every platform under the sun. PC, PlayStations, Xboxes, you name it. Expect it on day one on Xbox Game Pass. Oh, and maybe even Nintendo Switch 2? Ambitious, much? Microsoft and Nintendo are getting all chummy bringing Call of Duty back to Nintendo after, like, forever.
However this shakes out, it sounds like one wild ride. Can’t wait to see how it unfolds.
