Activision unveils Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 gameplay and a story aiming to break the sci-fi curse

It’s a critical year for Call of Duty because Battlefield 6 is showing up on October 10 with the technological advantage of amazing destructible environments. But Activision revealed its completely different and equally valid take on a shooter arriving on November 14.

As part of Geoff Keighley’s Opening Night Live, Activision revealed a trailer of the first gameplay for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. This game is a follow-up to last year’s title, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, which was set in 1991.
