During the recent Xbox Games Showcase, Activision unveiled the cinematic trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, marking the return of the well-known character David Mason, who has received a revamped design inspired by actor Milo Ventimiglia. This new installment is set in the year 2035, more than four decades after the events of Black Ops 6 and will take place in a world where adversaries manipulate fear as a weapon of combat.

The trailer also announced the participation of Kiernan Shipka, known for her role in Mad Men, who will play Emma Kagan, a character that seems to be a novel addition to the franchise. In addition, Michael Rooker, famous for his role in Guardians of the Galaxy, will return as Mike Harper, a character that fans remember from Black Ops 2. The choice of Ventimiglia to embody Mason has been described by Activision’s marketing director, Tyler Bahl, as suitable to bring to life an “iconic character of the franchise.”
This trailer is just the first phase of an extensive marketing campaign that will unfold in the coming weeks, with the possibility of more announcements and details about the game being revealed. Although an exact release date has not been confirmed, it is certain that Black Ops 7 will be available this year for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PS5, PS4, and PC through platforms like Steam and Battle.net. It is rumored that it could also be released on Switch 2.
Additionally, the trailer has begun to generate speculation among fans about a new battle royale map for Warzone, which could open doors to new experiences within the Call of Duty universe. Fans are eagerly awaiting more information and announcements in this exciting development of the series.
