The release date forCall of Duty: Black Ops 7may have just been leaked ahead of an official announcement, as a trusted insider claims the next entry in the series will launch globally on Friday, November 14. If accurate,Call of Duty: Black Ops 7would have the latest release in franchise history, narrowly surpassing 2020’sBlack Ops Cold War, which debuted on November 13.
So far, marketing forCall of Duty: Black Ops 7has been minimal. The highly anticipated next entry in the series wasrevealed during the Xbox Games Showcaseback in June with a mind-bending cinematic trailer, confirming the return of some iconicBlack Opscharacters, such as David Mason and Raul Menendez. Many speculated that gameplay would be shown in the weeks after, but publisher Activision and development studios Treyarch and Raven have all remained silent on the nextBlack Opsgame ever since.
Thankfully, Activision has now confirmed when fans will get to find out more about the nextCall of Dutygame, as a fullreveal forBlack Ops 7will take place on August 19. There’s a strong chance that an official release date is announced next month with a new trailer, but leaker TheGhostOfHope may have just beaten Activision to the punch. In a newpost on Twitter, the trusted insider claimed thatCall of Duty: Black Ops 7will launch globally on Friday, November 14. While a November release date is common for theCall of Dutyseries, many were hoping to seeBlack Ops 7follow in the footsteps ofBlack Ops 6,Modern Warfare II, and many more, and launch in late October.
Black Ops 7 May Have the Latest Release in Call of Duty History
If thesupposed release date forBlack Ops 7proves to be true, it will be the latest aCall of Dutygame has ever been released, but not by much. ManyCall of Dutygames have been launched between November 5 and 11, but some entries have also slipped even later than that.Black Ops 2, for example, launched on November 13 in 2012, as didBlack Ops Cold Warin 2020. As for the earliest aCall of Dutygame has ever been released, that award goes toBlack Ops 4, which launched on June 09, 2025.
Given thatBlack Ops 7’s marketing is kicking off much later than usual this year, a later release date would be expected. So far, very little is known about the next entry in the series. Activision has confirmed that it will be adirect sequel toBlack Ops 2, set in the year 2035, but gameplay features, multiplayer details, weapons, its integration withWarzone, and much more all remain a mystery.
For now, it’s recommended that fans take this information with a pinch of salt. While TheGhostOfHope is an incredibly reliable insider, there is always the chance that things can change behind the scenes. For those looking for more official information, we recommend tuning into Gamescom Opening Night Live, as this is when new details on the nextCall of Dutygame will be revealed.
