Back-to-back Black Ops game releases are somewhat worrying from a fatigue perspective for Call of Duty developer Treyarch. Black Ops 7 is set to launch November 14, just a little more than a year after Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
Speaking with CharlieIntel, Treyarch senior director of production Yale Miller discussed whether launching Black Ops 7 right after Black Ops 6 was a concern for the team. “I think the honest answer is yes. I worry about that,” said Miller via Dexerto. “Obviously, there was a plan with the two [Modern Warfare] games and then this. We’ll see what the franchise does in the future.”
Miller pointed out that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 followed a similar pattern in 2022 and 2023, respectively. To combat possible Black Ops fatigue, Miller laid out Treyarch’s strategy with Black Ops 7.
“We’re absolutely going to bring it from a content perspective in our live seasons,” Miller said. “How can we have new gameplay experiences? More content, more maps, weeklies, with functional stuff like deeper weapon prestige experiences.”
Earlier this week, Treyarch revealed new details about Zombies in Black Ops 7. Taking place on the Ashes of the Damned map, players can utilize an armored truck called Ol’ Tessie as well as fight a zombie bear named Zursa.
Black Ops 7 will get a multiplayer beta next month, with early access beginning October 2 and then opening up to everyone else October 5. (Preordering Black Ops 7 is one way to get in early, by the way.) The small taste of the FPS–which will include Zombies–will run through October 8.
The full release for Black Ops 7 is slated for November 14. The game is coming to PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. Treyarch recently noted that a “shocking” number of people still play Call of Duty on last-generation consoles.
