Activision confirmed rumors that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be this year’s game for the top-selling franchise.
And the company said: Welcome to 2035 and prepare for the most mind-bending Black Ops ever. And so they’re asking fans to embrace the madness. As it is set in the future, there’s a lot of AI-driven robots in the military future.
In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Treyarch and Raven Software are promising to bring players the most mind-bending Black Ops ever. Developed as the next evolution of Black Ops, this is the first-ever consecutive release within the series, set more than 40 years after the events of Black Ops 6.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7
We’ll see if having the same major studios doing back-to-back games is a good thing when it comes to adequate preparation and quality — without burning out the team. Once upon a time, one studio made Call of Duty games. Then it was two. Then three. There was a big lawsuit that disrupted things. Then as the franchise found its legs, it dispensed with the tired WWII settings and moved on to Modern Warfare and Black Ops. Now we’ve got 10 studios or so working on it, and Black Ops for two years in a row. There are a few thousand people working on it.
And the old system of having one studio doing a game every three years has turned on its head. Sledgehammer Games did a couple of games in three years. Then Infinity Ward did two games in a row with Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3. Then now it’s Treyarch’s turn to do Black Ops 6 and Black Ops 7 back to back.
It feels like we might be at some kind of significant transition point, if I am any kind CallofDutyOlogist.
For this year’s game, the year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare following the events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6. Wielding cutting-edge technology, David Mason and his team must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponizes fear above all else.
