Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 — Everything to Know About the Replayable Co-op Endgame Experience
Black Ops 7 isn’t just looking forward — it’s revisiting one of the series’ darkest chapters. Raul Menendez, the infamous villain from Black Ops II, returns to threaten the world once again. Veterans like Frank Woods and David Mason must confront old demons while questioning their uneasy alliance with The Guild’s CEO, Emma Kagan.
The Call of Duty franchise is rewriting its own rules. When Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 lands on PlayStation 5 and PS4 on November 14, it won’t just deliver another blockbuster campaign — it will redefine what co-op storytelling looks like in a first-person shooter.
Set in 2035, the world teeters on the edge of chaos as new enemies rise and old ones return. Players can team up or go solo through a high-stakes narrative spanning neon-lit rooftops of Japan and the mysterious city of Avalon. The mission: uncover the secrets of The Guild, a global tech empire wielding a weapon that can literally turn fear into war.
Endgame: The Future of Replayable Campaigns
After completing the 11-mission co-op story, players unlock Endgame — a replayable, ever-evolving experience for 1–32 players. Teams of up to four Operators fight through toxic exposure zones across Avalon, completing dynamic assignments, leveling up abilities, and racing to extract before being overwhelmed.
Every run counts. Success means upgrades, XP, and weapon camos — but failure means losing it all. The mode’s C-Link C.O.M.B.A.T. OS system lets players fully customize loadouts, choose between six Skill Tracks like Gunner or Surgeon, and wield powerful tools such as Active Camo, Hand Cannon, or the Grappling Hook.
