Black Ops 7 has just been suddenly revealed during the Xbox Games Showcase. The game, which is set in 2035, ushers in the next generation of Call of Duty, bringing back jetpack-based movement mechanics and a near-future setting featuring robotic enemies and one David Mason.
Earlier this year, leaks for Black Ops 7 started suggesting we’d have wall-running mechanics and more manoeuvrability, and the sudden reveal of Black Ops 7 at the Xbox Games Showcase confirms everything.
Back to the Future
Call of Duty is finally going back to the near future for the first time in almost a decade, cutting short the boots-on-the-ground era and putting players back in control of a soldier with advanced movement mechanics.
Here’s the full Black Ops 7 trailer:
Here’s the spiel released a short while ago on the Xbox Wire:
For the first time in Call of Duty history, developers Treyarch and Raven Software are bringing players Black Ops titles back-to-back with the confirmation of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.
The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by conflict and psychological warfare following the narrative events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6. With cutting-edge technology in hand, the Black Ops team led by David Mason must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponizes fear above all else.
Squad up with friends or play solo in the innovative Co-op Campaign, harness near-future weaponry in the signature Multiplayer mode packed with brand-new maps, and descend into the next twisted chapter of Round-Based Zombies in the heart of the Dark Aether.
It was confirmed that Black Ops 7 will be coming to last-gen consoles.
