Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Confirms Multiplayer Maps and…

Activision has revealed all the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 multiplayer maps and modes that will be available at launch. Fall 2025 has been big for the FPS genre, with the long-awaited Battlefield 6 coming out on October 10 and the newest CoD now less than two weeks away from release. As that day gets closer, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is leaning into the hype and giving fans a closer look at what to expect.

While Activision has poured cold water on the theory that Black Ops 7 would get an early access release, fans have already had a chance to get a feel for the game. An open beta in early October offered a glimpse at a few multiplayer modes and maps, although the full game will have much more content to explore. With the release date just around the corner, the CoD team has now offered another, more detailed dive into the Black Ops 7 multiplayer experience.

On November 14, 10 days before Black Ops 7's release, Activision pulled the curtain on every map and mode coming to the game before Season One begins. That includes a staggering 16 6v6 maps and two 20v20 arenas available on day one. As previously confirmed, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will add Nuketown on November 20, bringing the grand total up to 19 maps before the start of the first season.

Activision has also confirmed 16 game modes fans can dig into at launch, including Black Ops 7's brand-new Overload mode, where teams will try to sabotage opponents' control zones after fighting for the Overload Device. Another new offering, Skirmish, will pit teams of 20 against each other. Classics like Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Search and Destroy are also returning, alongside Face Off variants of some of these modes, which turn off scorestreaks.

In addition to these maps and modes, fans can look forward to 16 operators, aside from the eight Zombies crew members. Many of these will be available immediately, but some are exclusive to the Vault Edition and others only unlock after players reach a certain level. All in all, there's a lot to get excited about. At least one analyst believes Black Ops 7 will outsell Battlefield 6, and with such a massive slate of content coming for the already popular franchise, it seems like the game has a decent shot.

In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Treyarch and Raven Software are bringing players the most mind-bending Black Ops ever.

The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare. David Mason leads an elite JSOC team on a covert mission to the sprawling Mediterranean city of Avalon. While there, they discover a sophisticated plot that won’t just plunge the world into chaos, it will pull them into their own haunting pasts.

Squad up or go solo in an innovative Co-Op Campaign that redefines the Black Ops experience. Take on high-stakes challenges across a wide spectrum of environments, from the neon-lit rooftops of Japan to the Mediterranean coast, and even into the deepest corners of the human psyche.

Multiplayer explodes out of the gate with 16 electrifying 6v6 maps and two 20v20 maps at launch. From futuristic Tokyo vistas to the frozen, unforgiving wilds of Alaska, every environment is brimming with danger and opportunity. Master a cutting-edge arsenal and outmaneuver your enemies with an evolved Omnimovement system.

In Treyarch’s legendary Round-Based Zombies mode, the nightmare begins where reality ends. Trapped in the heart of the Dark Aether, the crew is thrust into a vast, ever-shifting hellscape. This isn’t just survival. It’s a descent into madness.
