While the event may have lacked anyHollow Knight: Silksong,Forza Horizon 6, orThe Elder Scrolls 6, there were plenty ofsurprises at the 2025 Xbox Games Showcase. Not only did Bethesda reveal a new DLC forIndiana Jones and the Great Circle, the hour-long event also gave fans their first look at the ROG Xbox Ally X, a new handheld device that will launch later this year. However, Xbox closed the show with a big surprise forCall of Dutyfans when the very first trailer forBlack Ops 7was revealed. Most fans were left stumped by the mind-bending trailer right up until the game’s title appeared, but it looks like the hype for the nextCall of Dutygame is already through the roof.
Black Ops 7’s First Trailer Has Already Surpassed Black Ops 6’s
There’s no firm release date for the nextCall of Dutygame just yet, but there’s a strong chance it will stick with tradition and launch in late October/early November. But despite the fact that the shooter is still likely a good four or five months away, hype appears to be at an all-time high. In just 24 hours, theworldwide reveal trailer forCall of Duty: Black Ops 7has already accumulated over 28 million views. For comparison,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s reveal trailer, which is now one year old, has only racked up 19 million views. The drastic difference seems to show thatCall of Dutyfans are far more excited forBlack Ops 7than they were for its predecessor, which only launched in October 2024.
Marketing for the nextCall of Dutytitle has barely even begun, but if the game’s first trailer is anything to go by, it could be a big few months for fans of the series. Some are even speculating that afull reveal ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 7will take place on June 20. Although a “reveal” has already taken place, it merely consisted of a cinematic trailer. However, some eagle-eyed fans noticed that the trailer features the date of May 09, 2025, which has led to speculation that a potential gameplay reveal could occur later this month.
Unfortunately, fans will need to wait until next week to see if their theory is correct. In the meantime, Activision is givingCall of Dutyplayers the chance to nab anexclusiveBlack Ops 7Calling Cardto use inBlack Ops 6andWarzone. Players simply need to respond toCall of Duty’s tweet with their Activision ID and they will be rewarded with an exclusiveBlack Ops 7-themed Calling Card. The cosmetic item will be added to players' inventories with the game’s Season 4 Reloaded update, which is expected to launch later this month.
