After enduring a pretty torrid few days of leaks, Activision has finally set the record straight on Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The upcoming FPS opted to align its first gameplay reveal at Gamescom: Opening Night Live 2025 with a raucous trailer that gave a first look at the ambitious co-op campaign and its intriguing endgame – a 32-player mode which aims to bring replayability to the once solo mode.

We now know that the Black Ops 7 release date has been locked in for November 14, 2025 – little over a month after the release of Battlefield 6. Unlike EA's multiplayer-focused shooter, which is releasing exclusively on current-generation platforms, Black Ops 7 will have a much wider launch. Activision has confirmed that the game is coming to PC (via Battle.net, Xbox on PC, and Steam), PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X, and Xbox One. It'll also be available through Game Pass Ultimate from day one.
