Call of Duty: Black Ops 7

The 2035 Black Ops

According to Xbox, the game launched on 14 November 2025 (the French PlayStation Store lists 13 November). It is set in 2035: David Mason leads an elite JSOC team on a covert mission to Avalon, a Mediterranean city, against a plot that drags them into their own haunting pasts. The campaign can be played in co-op or solo. At launch, multiplayer offered 16 6v6 maps and two 20v20 maps, with an Omnimovement system, and Round-Based Zombies promised the biggest map in Black Ops history. The game requires an internet connection and an Activision account; a mobile number may be required. It is rated PEGI 18.

What the press says

All three reviews used here were played on PS5. Destructoid (8.5/10) describes a massive, varied package, excellent multiplayer with looser skill-based matchmaking, deep Zombies and a new Endgame mode, but a short, uneventful campaign and a heavy co-op focus that makes solo play less appealing. Game Informer (7.5/10) calls the roughly five-hour campaign a plot that misses the mark with little mission variety, but praises the Ashes of the Damned Zombies map and the best multiplayer map selection of the series' modern era, despite a few duds. Push Square (6/10) finds multiplayer still solid and Zombies as dependable as ever, but calls the co-op campaign the silliest in the series, regrets the lack of a true single-player option and notes downgraded visuals.
