A new supposed leak has surfaced online, teasing what fans might expect from the next major installment in Activision’s long-running Call of Duty franchise. While not officially confirmed, the claims—if true—suggest Black Ops 7 could be one of the most ambitious entries to date.
Set in 2035 With Familiar Faces Returning
According to Reddit user Bigbyy, who alleges they recently participated in a study group focused on the upcoming game, Call of Duty 2025 is set in the year 2035 and will bring back iconic characters Alex Mason and James Woods. The game is described as a direct sequel to Black Ops 2’s future storyline, continuing the narrative threads fans have long speculated about.
This might come as no surprise to long-time followers of GamingHQ. We’ve been pointing to a potential Black Ops 2 sequel for years—and even shared proof hidden in plain sight. In the final scene of Black Ops 2, during the post-credits concert with Avenged Sevenfold, the band’s shirt features the words “2025 Revolution Tour.” While initially dismissed as a fun easter egg, it’s increasingly looking like it was a deliberate teaser for the future timeline Activision planned all along.
4-Player Co-op and an Open World Map
One major highlight is the return of 4-player co-op in the campaign, reminiscent of Black Ops 3, set in an open-world environment called Avalon. This marks a bold evolution from the more linear storytelling Call of Duty campaigns are known for, offering new ways for players to experience the narrative together.
Omnimovement Returns—Now With Wall Running
Fans of Black Ops 6’s fluid omnimovement system will be pleased to hear it’s reportedly making a return—this time with wall running included. This could usher in a new era of advanced movement mechanics, combining fast-paced verticality with tactical combat.
Zombies: TranZit Remake and Multiverse Storylines
The rumored Zombies mode is shaping up to be a major highlight. According to the leak, it will include:
- A round-based structure in classic fashion.
- Multiverse variants of the original crew.
- A full remake of the iconic TranZit map from Black Ops 2.
- A mysterious new “wonder vehicle.”
- A difficulty selector for more accessible or hardcore runs.
- Expanded lore and what’s being called “the largest round-based Zombies map ever created.”
These features point toward a return to roots, while still innovating in scale and storytelling.
Multiplayer: 32v32 Mode and Familiar Maps
The multiplayer offering is also getting an upgrade. Highlights include:
- A massive new 32v32 player mode.
- Remakes of classic maps, adding nostalgia to the rotation.
- A futuristic Japanese-themed map as part of the new lineup.
- Traditional elements like perks, killstreaks, and a progression system.
- Crucially, multiplayer progression will carry over from Black Ops 6, marking a significant shift in the franchise’s reward model.
When Will It Be Revealed?
While these leaks are compelling, fans should remain cautious until Activision makes things official. That said, the official reveal is expected soon, possibly during the Xbox Games Showcase on June 8. However, with Black Ops 6 and Warzone still actively supported, a later summer reveal is also possible.
