Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is officially live, delivering one of the most content-rich launches in the franchise’s history. Players can now dive into a mind-twisting Co-Op Campaign, jump into 18 diverse Multiplayer maps, and face the horrors of Dark Aether with returning legends in Round-Based Zombies.
This year, Treyarch and Raven Software are dialing up the intensity across every mode, from narrative-driven missions to competitive multiplayer and the franchise’s most iconic undead experience.
A New Co-Op Campaign: The Return of Menendez
Black Ops 7’s story brings players back into the boots of David Mason and his JSOC strike team as they unravel the global threat posed by The Guild, a tech megacorporation promising “peace through security.”
The biggest twist?
The campaign is fully co-op, blending signature Black Ops psychological storytelling with shared tactical gameplay. The threat escalates with the return of Raul Menendez, setting the stage for an emotional and unpredictable fight across the globe.
On completion, players unlock Endgame, a replayable, evolving post-campaign experience designed for long-term challenge and experimentation.
