Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s full release is just a little over a month away, officially launching on November 14. This year’s Call of Duty is shaping up to be a massive entry, throwing players into the future with a co-op campaign, revamped Multiplayer featuring Black Ops 2 map remasters and futuristic weaponry, and the largest Zombies experience to date with Ashes of the Damned.
Starting today, however, players can already get a taste of what’s to come through the Black Ops 7 Beta. The Beta lets players dive into a portion of Multiplayer, as well as try out Zombies Survival on Vandorn Farm, a little later during its runtime. But when exactly does the Black Ops 7 Beta begin? Here’s everything you need to know.
