Call of Duty Black Ops 7 launches in November with a cinematic campaign starring Milo Ventimiglia, Michael Rooker and Kiernan Shipka. The game enables four-player co-op across every mode, revives Dead Ops Arcade, and introduces a 20-player Skirmish mode featuring large maps, wingsuits and vehicles. The narrative mixes covert warfare, psyops and tech-industry paranoia and is set in 2035. The game includes hi-tech war machines such as swarms of deployable minidrones and a Boston Dynamics-style attack dog called the DAWG, alongside a futuristic augmented-reality-style UI. The franchise faces criticism over monetisation, in-game bugs and AI-generated paid content.
former Blizzard president and Microsoft executive Mike Ybarra called the Call of Duty franchise lazy. Posting on X, the veteran exec wrote that EA's upcoming Battlefield 6 would boot stomp CoD this year and force the team to make better FPS games. And with Splitgate 2 head Ian Proulx mocking Call of Duty in his Summer Game Fest presentation just two months ago, it seems the blockbuster series has become the butt of an industry joke about endless franchises.
The latest instalment from Treyarch, which drops this November, features a mind-bending campaign starring Hollywood actors such as Milo Ventimiglia (This is Us), Michael Rooker (Guardians of the Galaxy), and Kiernan Shipka (Chilling Adventures of Sabrina); the ability to play four-person co-op across every mode;the return of beloved twin-stick minigame Dead Ops Arcade; and a brand-new 20-player mode called Skirmish, with large dedicated maps, wingsuits and vehicles.
Produced in tandem with last year's Black Ops 6, number 7 is a pseudo-sequel to the beloved 2012 title Black Ops II, with Ventimiglia playing David Mason, that game's steadfast main character. Set in 2035, it's crammed with hi-tech war machines think swarms of deployable minidrones, a Boston Dynamics-type attack dog known as the DAWG, and a futuristic UI, designed to resemble an augmented reality
