Treyarch and Raven Software have officially confirmedCall of Duty: Black Ops 7, and the reveal makes a previous rumor seem all the more credible.Call of Duty’s annual release cycle means there’s always some speculation about what’s next for the series, and as with any other rumors, it can be hard to tell which leaks are trustworthy and which are just fluff. Now that fans have some official details onCall of Duty: Black Ops 7, one particular leak from April sounds more believable.
A teaser at the end of this year’s Xbox Games Showcase confirmed that this year’sCall of Dutywill indeed be the seventhBlack Opstitle. Beyond that, it revealed thatBlack Ops 7will have a co-op campaignand feature the return ofBlack Ops 2’s David Mason. On top of being exciting news for longtime fans, those details could give insight into what else to expect based on some news from two months ago.
As CharlieIntel pointed out on Twitter, the confirmation of a co-op campaign aligns with a major leak from April. The rumor in question came from aReddit user claiming to be in aBlack Ops 7study groupand accurately predicted the game’s setting and co-op functionality. Seeing how those details proved to be true, the rest of the leak may carry some more credibility. That could mean there are some exciting things in store for fans, including 32v32 team matches, the largest Zombies map to date, and a futuristic Japan-themed multiplayer map.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s Reveal Seems to Confirm a Big Leak from April
Other leakers have recently shared some info that supports the same claims. NotedCall of Dutyinsider Ghost of Hope saidBlack Ops 7will bring back the TranZit Zombies mapfromBlack Ops 2, which the April leak also suggested. Some fans believe the remastered fan-favorite map will be the massive one teased by the earlier rumors, though that remains unclear. As for 64-player matches, this wouldn’t be uncharted territory for the franchise as a whole, but it would be big news for theBlack Opsgames in particular, which tend to focus on smaller multiplayer modes.
If the rest of the April leak proves to be true, 2025 could be a big year forCall of Duty. Fans are already plenty excited about it, too, asBlack Ops 7’s trailer views passed those of the lastCall of Dutygamein just 24 hours. While there’s no official release date to look forward to yet, the wait shouldn’t be too long, as 2025 is almost halfway through.
