Campaign overview

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 dives deeper into the madness, playable solo or with up to four players. Mission variety is at the core, as action is present both in covert operations and deployments at the edge of consciousness.

Players can take high-stake missions across a wide spectrum of environments across the world, and sometimes, in the blink of an eye.

Story wise, the year is 2035. The world is on the bring of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare following the events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6.

Chief villain Raul Menendez returns with a chilling televised threat. In response, The Guild vows to step in and protect humanity.

Elsewhere, returning David “Section” Mason also leads his own elite Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) team on a covert mission in Avalon. This sprawling Mediterranean city will be key as a weapon there engineered to turn fear into an instrument war is uncovered.

Mason’s team is exposed to this weapon, leading to fractured realities. Missions shift into surreal landscapes with twisted versions of each member’s memories coming vividly into focus.

Alongside Mason, Mike Harper, Eric Samuels, and Leilani Tupuola, players will meet The Guild CEO Emma Kagan.

Kagan will deploy Operatives such as Slade Barrick who heads up Specter Two, the secondary JSOC team.

Avalon: Endgame

As players progress through the massive Campaign, they will master abilities until they are ready for the Endgame.

Here, they will reach new levels of power to survive overwhelming odds in a brand-new replayable experience that serves as the Campaign culmination.

It isn’t just a final mission. Each run is a new step in the power journey as players wield personalized abilities.

At the same time, all of Avalon opens up. It’s a chance for players to explore the world beyond the mission.

Once players reach Endgame, players will be able to play as any unlocked Operator and access the C.O.M.B.A.T. Operating System. Campaign Loadouts and Operator selection become available too.

When players’ power increases, they can choose new Power Upgrades (Health, Armor, Mobility, Damage) or Skills to increase Combat Rating.

Black Ops 7’s Co-Op Campaign delivers a bold, mind-bending story centered on Mason and his team. It’s also a deeply personal journey into fear, control, and consequence.
