The story of Black Ops 7 takes place in 2035. This new production, which is 40 years after the previous game, tells the story of a period in the world where technological developments and psychological warfare are intertwined. According to the scenes seen in the trailer, players are this time taking part in a chaotic world in the future.

The enemy uses a much more dangerous method than traditional weapons: perception manipulation. The war against this formation that tries to gain control by triggering people’s fears is described as a struggle progressing in the shadows.

The cast in the trailer also draws attention. Milo Ventimiglia, who returns as David Mason, is accompanied by familiar names from the world of cinema and TV series such as Kiernan Shipka and Michael Rooker. David Mason was previously the main character in Black Ops 2. This character is being reintroduced to the series with the new game.

Treyarch and Raven Software are in the production chair. According to the information provided with the trailer, the game includes major innovations in terms of both story and gameplay. For example, the story mode can be played both alone and in co-op. In addition, new content will be added to the Zombies mode in addition to the classic multiplayer mode.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be released for Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC platforms. It was reported that the game will be included in the Game Pass library with its launch. However, the release date of the production has not been announced yet.
