The highly anticipated release of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7*, a direct sequel to 2024's *Black Ops 6*, is scheduled for November 14, 2025. Co-developed by Treyarch Studios and Raven Software, the game will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, including access through Xbox Game Pass.

Introduction of the Endgame Mode
A significant feature of *Black Ops 7* is the new Endgame mode, which has been designed to enhance player engagement.

Players will lose all collected loot if they fail to escape the map. The developers plan to keep the mode updated with new content over time.
Unlocking Endgame
To access the Endgame mode, players must complete the first 11 campaign missions. The narrative premise involves the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) exploring the fictional city of Avalon, where they will confront The Guild, a criminal faction. Players will face robotic soldiers and navigate exposure zones leaking a mysterious toxin into the city.

A recent leak revealed that Activision accidentally published a blog post announcing a showcase for the Endgame mode, which is set to occur on November 10, 2025.
