Black Ops 7 will hit the shelves on November 14, 2025. This date makes it the latest release in Call of Duty history, edging out Black Ops Cold War by just one day. As per usual, the game’s release will be preceded by the Call of Duty Next event in September, followed by an Open Beta in October.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is a sequel to last year's installment – something that doesn't usually happen in the CoD release schedule, which in the past has hopped around between mini-series and development studios. In a first for CoD, the two games were developed concurrently by Treyarch and Raven Software.
