Call of Dutyplayers have been hoping for a glimpse atBlack Ops 7ever since it was revealed in a cinematic trailer a few years ago, and now their wish has been granted. Kind of. Accidentally.
It appears that an internal developer message of the day was posted errantly onCall of Duty HQ, the hub app that all recentCoDtitles are launched out of, and players who got it were quick to take screenshots. And in the images, we got several new looks at BO7 and what it has to offer, including what looks like soldiers inAdvanced Warfare-style exosuits.
The first image shows two futuristic-looking soldiers, looking more like they’re fromBlack Ops 4thanBlack Ops 2(BO7is set 10 years afterBO2), and text about a mode called Overload. In Overload, “two teams of six players each fight to control a neutral EMP device that must be delivered to the enemy HQ for score.”
The second image shows more futuristic soldiers wearing exosuit-like frames, doing battle around a quadruped robot with a machine gun on its back, teasing modes for Core six-vs-six and 20-vs-20 Skirmish gameplay.
Some are questioning if this “leak” was intentional to drum up hype forBO7, but it appears that this may be a side effect ofCoD HQbeing the home for current and future content. The latest iteration of theCoDhub has had several leaks and data mines stem from it in the past.
The newestBlack Ops 6update, Season Four Reloaded, will drop next week. Beyond that, the next few months ofCoD’sschedule are shrouded in secrecy, including the assumed new iteration ofCoDNext whereBO7and more looks at the franchise’s future will take place.
For now, dedicatedCoD-heads are still just waiting forBO7’srelease date to be confirmed so they can pencil in a sick day this fall.
