Trusted gaming insider Billbil-kun has revealed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is expected to launch on November 14, 2025. This information matches an earlier claim made by insider TheGhostofHope last month on X.
In addition to the release date, Billbil-kun stated that there will be no Nintendo Switch 2 version available at launch. Activision Blizzard has not provided any official details on whether a port for the upcoming Nintendo console will be considered in the future.
The absence of a Switch 2 version has raised questions among players, particularly because Microsoft announced a ten-year deal with Nintendo in February 2023 to bring the Call of Duty series to Nintendo platforms. Despite this agreement, no game from the franchise has yet been released on a Nintendo console. With the Switch 2 expected to offer stronger hardware performance than the previous generation of PlayStation and Xbox consoles — both of which will receive Black Ops 7 — many assumed the game would arrive on the new Nintendo hardware without delay.
According to the leak, Black Ops 7 will be available in physical editions for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S at a suggested retail price of €79.99. Pre-orders are reportedly set to begin on Wednesday, August 20, 2025, following Geoff Keighley’s Gamescom Opening Night Live event.
The game is being co-developed by Treyarch and Raven Software. The campaign continues the narrative from 2012’s Black Ops II, set ten years after its events. Players will once again take on the role of David Mason, voiced by Milo Ventimiglia, as he leads a team against a strategic enemy who uses fear as their primary weapon.
Multiplayer will feature competitive modes alongside a cooperative, round-based Zombies mode. Developers have also confirmed that gameplay will build on the omnimovement system introduced in Black Ops 6, aiming to enhance both single-player and competitive experiences.
With an expected announcement during Gamescom 2025, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is set to be one of the year’s major first-person shooter releases, though the lack of a Switch 2 version at launch may leave some players waiting longer to join the action.
