Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 goes full Inception and delivers a Christopher Nolan style time bending campaign
Black Ops 7 Reveal Blends Co-Op Campaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies Into One Epic Connected Experience
During Gamescom’s Opening Night Live, Treyarch and Raven Software revealed how Black Ops 7 is going bigger and more connected than ever before.
In a highlight moment, Treyarch Associate Creative Director Miles Leslie explained:
“Black Ops 7 drops you into 2035… Raul Menendez is back, and his return sends shockwaves across the globe… Whether you’re here for nostalgia or diving in fresh, Black Ops 7 delivers a bold new chapter in the Black Ops universe.”— Miles Leslie - Treyarch Associate Creative Director
That vision extends further into the campaign’s design:
“This time, you are not going in alone. You have the option to play solo or with up to four players.”— Miles Leslie
Co-Op Campaign & Beyond
Insider reports confirm that the final act, Endgame, will open up into an extreme multiplayer showdown:
“Once the campaign is complete, players graduate and unlock a new twelfth mission called Endgame. This massive campaign mission unlocks all of Avalon for players to explore with support for up to 32 players in a single match.”— Insider

Black Ops 7 builds continuity into its very core:
Global progression, where "player and weapon XP, challenges, and weapon camos earned through the campaign can be used in Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone."
