If you can’t wait for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Multiplayer, you’re not alone. Treyarch has packed the latest franchise entry with plenty of fresh content and customization options, making it feel like an entirely new game—unlike 2023’s Modern Warfare 3, which felt more like an expansion of its predecessor.

This guide is your one-stop source for everything you need to know about the upcoming title. We’ll cover all the confirmed details so far, including the Black Ops 7 maps, modes, weapons, loadouts, and scorestreaks available at launch.

Black Ops 7 Release Date & Platforms

Black Ops 7 launches worldwide on November 14, 2025. It’ll be available to play on PlayStation 4|5, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. Similar to previous Call of Duty games, an early access beta will run from October 2–4, 2025, for all pre-orders and Game Pass Ultimate subscribers.

The Black Ops 7 beta runs from October 5–8 and will be free for all players. While the exact global launch times haven’t been confirmed yet, they’re expected to follow a schedule similar to Black Ops 6.

All Confirmed Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Maps

Black Ops 7 will launch with 16 core 6v6 maps and two massive 20v20 Skirmish maps, offering players a strong lineup right from the start. Fifteen of these are brand-new, while three are classics from Black Ops 2: Express, Hijacked, and Raid.

All Black Ops 7 maps are set in 2035 and follow Treyarch’s signature three-lane flow, with Skirmish adding modern mechanics like wingsuits and grappling hooks to mix things up. If you’ve played Warzone or other large-scale modes in Call of Duty games, you’ll know what to expect.

All Confirmed Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Modes

Black Ops 7 Multiplayer offers a healthy mix of game modes, ranging from fan-favorites that everyone loves and expects to new experimental ones. If you grew up grinding Team Deathmatch or Domination, you’ll feel right at home.

The standout newcomer is Overload, a 6v6 tug-of-war where a single device spawns on the map at a time, creating fast-paced and chaotic battles. Here’s the complete list of all the Black Ops 7 Multiplayer game modes:

• Team Deathmatch
• Domination
• Search and Destroy
• Kill Confirmed
• Free-For-All
• Hardpoint
• Gunfight
• Kill Order
• Control
• Overload (New)

Beyond that, there’s also a new alternate set of modes called Face Off, offering a stripped-down way to play the game. This Black Ops 7 Multiplayer mode eliminates scorestreaks and features smaller maps, making it a strong fit for competitive playlists that prioritize skill.

• Face Off Domination
• Face Off Team Deathmatch
• Face Off Kill Order
• Face Off Kill Confirmed

Black Ops 7 Loadouts & Equipment Customization

Black Ops 7 gives you up to 10 loadout slots, covering primary, secondary, and melee weapons as well as tacticals, lethals, perks, and even a Combat Specialty. The Gunsmith system also returns, though weapons are limited to only five attachments, unless you’re using the Gunfighter Wildcard.

There’s also a ton of visual customization available, including camos, reticles, accessories, decals, and stickers. However, the biggest change is the new Black Ops 7 Overclock System, which lets you upgrade tacticals, lethals, field upgrades, and even scorestreaks mid-match via two buff tiers.

For example, a stun grenade might last longer or gain a new debuff, while scorestreaks can hit harder or cost less to deploy.

Weapons

Black Ops 7 will launch with 30 weapons—16 of them will be brand-new. Given the game’s futuristic setting, it’s only natural for it to lean into a semi-futuristic arsenal. This sets it apart from the more grounded Call of Duty entries, delivering some truly unique firepower.

Primary categories include assault rifles, submachine guns (SMG), shotguns, light machine guns (LMG), marksman rifles, and snipers, while secondaries cover pistols and launchers. Melee options haven’t been revealed yet, though each Specialist will wield a unique weapon beyond the default knife.

Some fan-favorite weapons, such as the Peacekeeper AR and M8A1 marksman rifle, also return, along with unique guns like the XR-3 Ion—a burst-fire sniper rifle. Aesthetically, the weapons appear to draw inspiration from the designs of Black Ops 3 and Black Ops 4.
