New gameplay for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 is out from Gamescom, with us seeing some returning things for Black Ops 7
I do not think it would be a Gamescom if we did not have some big news for the next Call Of Duty title right out the gate, and here we go for the upcoming Black Ops 7. The next big title that Treyarch has been working on since we had the announcement a little while back. Now that we are getting closer to the beta dates and the official release date for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7, it only makes sense that we have some gameplay. Gameplay that we have to show off, and then tease the various multiplayer modes, missions, story, and zombies that will be hitting the PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC on November 14th. Even if it appears that there will be a “beta test” early in October, for those who truly need to get in on the game that early.
Many have thought, and correctly figured out that Black Ops 7 was going to have us in the roles of David Mason and Raul Menendez, but in the year 2035. All are on the task of doing what they do best, but not specifically running it all alone this time. That goes for players too, as the campaign will be co-op from start to end, for those who want to play with a friend and not in the many multiplayer modes that the game will offer up. That or the new Zombies campaign, which will also see the return of round-based zombies instead of what we have grown to play over the years. Almost as if Black Ops 7 is pulling in all of the things that they know fans wanted, and trying to add in a few new things that many, like myself, have been craving since Black Ops first kicked off. All nice little things, with a bit of pre-rendered gameplay for you to spy just below. Something that claims to be running in the game engine, but it is hard to tell if it will be how things will actually play out. I guess that is what the October 2nd beta test will truly show us all.
