Black Ops 7 Story So Far: Woods, Sevran, Adler, and the Road to 2025

A Bold New Chapter in 2035.

The upcoming Call of Duty title, Black Ops 7, developed by Treyarch in partnership with Raven Software and published by Activision, marks a major evolution for the franchise. Set in the year 2035, this entry positions itself 10 years after the events of Black Ops 2 and follows key characters like David “Section” Mason and the returning antagonist Raul Menéndez.  The story teeters on the brink of global chaos as tech-giant The Guild unleashes a fear-based weapon that threatens all-out warfare. 

The official Black Ops 7 blog and reveal materials outline a campaign playable solo or in co-op (up to four players), and feature the return of Zombies alongside a full-scale online multiplayer suite. 

Rather than being purely a single-player experience, Black Ops 7’s campaign is designed to be co-operative first — playable solo if you choose, but optimized for squad action (up to four operators). 

The missions span diverse global locales — from the neon-soaked rooftops of Japan to the Mediterranean city of Avalon, and mind-warping psychological sequences tied to fear weaponization. 

At the heart of the campaign lies a new Endgame Activity. Once the main campaign is complete, players can enter a massive multiplayer-scalable event where up to 32 participants converge in Avalon to pursue high-stakes objectives and loot. 

Progression is unified across modes: weapon levels, XP, mastery camo tracks, and battle passes carry over between campaign, multiplayer, and Zombies. This connected progression system marks a significant shift for the franchise. 

Multiplayer

Black Ops 7 leverages tighter movement, new weapon builds and builds-sharing, and reintroduces a refined version of the “Prestige” system – allowing weapons and players to reset progress for exclusive rewards. 

Key features:

• 6v6 core modes plus expanded skirmish 20v20 playlists. 
• Weapon Build Code functionality: import your favorite load-out directly. 
• Cross-mode progression with weekly challenges, camo tracks, and seasonal rewards. 

Zombies

Returning with its signature round-based gameplay, Zombies in Black Ops 7 also adds new mode variants such as “Cursed” and “Survival” alongside improved narrative integration. The Dark Aether saga continues with larger maps, stronger loot progression, and deep meta systems. 

Understanding the narrative helps explain why this iteration is getting so much buzz. David Mason, now leading JSOC and backed by a new cast (including Emma Kagan), confronts Menéndez’s campaign of fear in a world driven by tech and psychological warfare. 

Avalon functions as more than just a map — it’s a sprawling city-hub where memories, hallucinations and global conspiracies intersect, proving Black Ops 7 will stretch beyond linear missions into fluid experiences. 

This resetting of timeline — revisiting Black Ops 2’s threads and advancing the plot a decade — gives veteran players both nostalgia and surprise. The coalition of co-op, narrative ambition and open Endgame is a bold repositioning for Call of Duty.

Black Ops 7 is scheduled for launch on November 14, 2025 across PlayStation 5/4, Xbox Series X|S/Xbox One, and PC.  For the first time since recent annual titles, it is not offering early access, with Activision confirming all editions release simultaneously. 

While platforms like Nintendo Switch 2 were previously speculated, current insider sources indicate the game will not launch on that system initially. 

The re-introduction of the classic Prestige system signals a shift back to long-term progression rather than quarterly seasonal resets — a move fans welcomed after recent titles. 

1. Co-op as default, not afterthought — the campaign is designed for squads, enriching replay value and social purchase appeal.
2. Single progression framework across three modes — culture-shifting for CoD’s, historically siloed, structure.
3. Brand legacy leveraged smartly — returning characters, 2035 timeline and Menéndez story thread provide hooks for old and new players.
4. Long-haul credibility — the marketing push emphasizes that Black Ops 7 is a new series starting point, not just next year’s release.
