Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is shaping up to be one of 2025’s biggest shooters, with the global release now confirmed for November 14, 2025. Here’s everything we know about the campaign, platforms, old map remasters, and why Nintendo Switch 2 is missing out at launch.

Release Date & Supported Platforms

  • Release Date: November 14, 2025 (global launch)
  • Platforms: PC, PlayStation 4 & 5, Xbox One & Series X/S
  • No Nintendo Switch 2 at Launch: Despite Microsoft’s 10-year agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo, credible reports confirm Switch 2 will not get Black Ops 7 at launch. Activision maintains that work is ongoing and future compatibility is possible.

Campaign & Story Details

  • Set in 2035, ten years after Black Ops II, led by fan-favorite protagonist David Mason.
  • Main villain uses psychological warfare and “weaponizes fear.”
  • Locations include Japan and the new fictional city Avalon—highlighted in recent teasers and leaks.
  • Playable solo or co-op, continuing Treyarch’s tradition of single- and multi-player storytelling.

Multiplayer — Features & Specialist Leaks

  • Remastered Classic Maps: Multiple leaks suggest the return of fan-favorite maps from previous Black Ops titles.
  • Specialists Return: Rumors indicate Specialist characters and abilities, last seen in Black Ops 4, will make a comeback.
  • Possible Absence of Tac Sprint: Early reports say Tactical Sprint may not be included, sticking closer to classic movement mechanics.
  • New Movement System: Black Ops 7 updates its movement engine but will not feature wall-running or jetpacks.

Marketing & The Guild Teasers

  • Activision has launched a viral campaign spotlighting “The Guild,” a fictional robotics firm central to Black Ops 7’s story.
  • Look for deeper story reveals and interactive content when the game is revealed at Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19.

Why No Nintendo Switch 2 Version Yet?

  • Even with legal agreements, industry sources confirm Black Ops 7 is not coming to Switch 2 at launch. Activision and Nintendo are still working on a solution, potentially for a post-launch release.
  • The game will arrive optimized for current-gen consoles and high-end PC hardware.

Summary: What to Expect On Launch Day

  • November 14, 2025 release on all major platforms except Nintendo’s next console.
  • Action-packed campaign, co-op play, remastered maps, Specialists, new movement system, and round-based Zombies mode.
  • Full feature and content reveal coming August 19 at Gamescom.
