Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 shared the first trailer for the Zombies mode, showing characters and a bit of the story. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is set to be released on November 14, and one of the reasons why the game is highly anticipated by fans is the return of the ever-popular Zombies mode.

Fans first played the Zombies mode in 2008 with the release of Call of Duty: World at War, which introduced the terrifying undead and features such as the round system and perks. However, it was with the release of the first Black Ops in 2010 that Zombies would explode to become what it is today. It would also introduce Nacht der Untoten, considered one of the best Black Ops Zombies maps. The Zombies mode has been one of the most popular aspects of the Call of Duty series for over 10 years. Now, players know a little more about what to expect from it in Black Ops 7.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has shared the first Zombies trailer. Grigori Weaver, Elizabeth Grey, Mac Carver, and Maya Aguinaldo, the Zombies characters from Black Ops 6, appear at Janus Towers along with more people. The crew's celebration is interrupted, and they are all sent to the Aether Dimension, where they meet a man with a scary appearance wearing a cowboy hat and sunglasses, and carrying skulls in cages. The man uses the skulls to suck the souls out of the characters and disappears through a portal, leaving them to fight the zombies.

For the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Treyarch has expanded the Zombies team with more characters. They will be Takeo Masaki, a ronin from Feudal Japan with no master, a new version of Tank Dempsey, now a US Marine who fought in Vietnam, Soviet tank commander Nikolai Belinksi, and Edward Richtofen, a doctor and hero of the Reich. Beyond that, some mysteries still surround the Zombies mode, such as the identity of the new villain.

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.
