Call of Duty Mobile Season 7 upcoming crossover, Operators, new game mode, and more

Image via Activision. It's been just a few days into Season 6, but Call of Duty Mobile has already announced its Season 7 dubbed 'Phantom Current.' It's pretty strange to see a CODM season getting into the horizon so early, keeping in mind its previous season. However, fans need to move on from the current season very soon because we are now just days away from getting Season 7 in this popular mobile game. Just like Season 6, Season 7 will also bring an epic collaboration, a brand new battle royale map, and even a racing mode. Everything you need to know about Call of Duty Mobile Season 7 Call of Duty Mobile Season 7 is set to launch a wide array of contents. | Image via Activision. Activision has recently confirmed that Season 7 in Call of Duty Mobile will be launched on July 30, 2025, at 5 PM PT/ 8 PM ET. That is why Season 6 which is also known as 'Gundam Arrives' will see an unprecedented ending. However, fans don't need to be disappointed because Activision has already planned a flurry of content for the upcoming season. Starting off with an epic collaboration with popular Chinese gacha game, Girls' Frontline. In this collaboration, players will get the opportunity to grab some precious in-game rewards without spending a single penny. For that, they will need to take part in the event to complete some basic tasks like daily logins or more complicated challenges associated with Battle Royale or Multiplayer matches. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo Not only that, this crossover will also feature themed contents in the form of a lucky draw, a bundle, and a Strongbox. The ASM10 operator Scylla and the Girls' Frontline ASM10 legendary weapon are featured in the lucky draw. The Bundle comes with an extra legendary weapon, and the Strongbox has more than a dozen weapons, camos, and other items that are all based on various Girls Frontline characters. Another exciting aspect of Season 7 in CoD Mobile is going to be the addition of Gulag, and that too for the first time in this game. Just like in its PC and console counterparts, Call of Duty Mobile players will be sent to an 1v1 deathmatch in Gulag after being eliminated in the Isolated Map. Every player will get their default Gulag attempts and more attempts can be obtained with Gulag Tickets. Players will respawn after defeating their enemies in this 1v1 battle, or if their teammates buy the specific dog tag at the Buy Station. The highlight of this season is surely the Multiplayer Mode - Mini Mayhem. This is going to be the first of its kind because players can take part in RC-XD car racing competitions on several maps. Winning in this mode will grant custom vehicle skins.

Ithell Colquhoun: ‘Between Worlds'

Ithell Colquhoun didn't sit still, visually or spiritually. This exhibition attempts to make sense of a sprawling oeuvre that engages with an incredibly wide gamut of spiritual, religious and formal ideas. Though not always coherent, it reveals her to be an artist of immense talent and invention. Across her engagements with the occult, Hindu Tantra, Christian mysticism and the Jewish Kabbalah, Colquhoun's eye for composition remains a constant, and might be the best part of a sometimes confusing show. Born in 1906 in India, where her father worked in the British colonial administration, Colquhoun moved to Cheltenham at a young age and went on to study art at the Slade, where she developed an interest in the esoteric. She was a card-carrying surrealist until 1940, when the group's British leader E.L.T. Mesens declared that members shouldn't join other societies. A practicing occultist, she took her cue to leave. Throughout the exhibition, various strains of surrealism and ways of understanding the world serve as a kind of tasting menu for Colquhoun. Here, in a relatively small-scale restaging of her broader exhibition at Tate St. Ives, the jumps between various artistic mediums and grand ideas can be jarring. Spanning painting, drawing and a number of more experimental techniques, the diversity of Colquhoun's output seems to work against the constraints of the exhibition. What might be an expansive exploration often feels like a whistle-stop tour. Standout moments are deeply – if quietly – impactful. The painting Scylla (1938), for example, depicts two tubular and fleshy rocks emerging from the ocean. They meet underwater among a tangle of coral. It's as suggestive as it is strange, reflecting the Surrealist idea of a 'double image', where one thing masquerades as another. A phallic interpretation is tempting, but a second look yields something more elegant and subtle: a pair of legs emerging from the water, seen from above as though painted from the point of view of someone sitting in a bathtub. A transatlantic counterpart, perhaps, to Frida Kahlo's surrealist masterpiece What the Water Gave Me, which was painted in the same year. The formal virtuosity that Scylla demonstrates is constant through Colquhoun's practice. This clearly comes naturally to her, as is evident in some beautiful small-scale examples of her experiments with new techniques. The symmetrical, rainbow-coloured Rorschach tests yielded by her 'Stillomancy' technique and the ghostly shapes applied using Fumage – holding paper above a flame and painting with its smoke – are highlights. Elsewhere, a tarot deck is adorned with psychedelic abstract constellations formed by pouring brightly coloured enamel paint. Bonsoir (1939) is the work that best demonstrates this talent for composition. Across a grid of 42 small-scale, simplistic photographic collages (some comprising only one image), Colquhoun tells an ambiguous story of attraction between two women. She crops, clips and combines images with the keen graphic sensibility of a pop artist. Though this show might bite off more than it can chew conceptually, it succeeds in communicating Colquhoun's impressive abilities as an image-maker.

Spectacle or stability: America's trade at a crossroads

In the wake of President Trump's threat to slap a 50% tariff on all European Union imports (he has delayed it till July 9) alongside his promise of punitive levies on tech giants, America stands at a crossroads between political posturing and economic prudence. What may play well on the campaign trail risks opening the Pandora's box in boardrooms from Detroit to Dublin. As the Federal Reserve adopts a wait-and-see stance amid sticky price pressures, the real test will be whether policymakers choose spectacle over stability, or whether common sense prevails in preserving the world's most dynamic economy. It is an old adage that 'empty barrels make the most noise,' and in Trump's tariff theatre, the loudest clamour often comes at the expense of nuanced economic argument. Instead of negotiating mutual reductions, the administration resorts to unilateral threats that risk a spiral of retaliation. As European leaders contemplate their next move, the warning is clear: If you live by tariffs, you may also die by them, hurting consumers and producers on both sides of the Atlantic. Behind the headlines lurks a more sober concern — the risk of stagflation. With consumer-price inflation still running above the Fed's two per cent target and wage growth edging higher, central bankers find themselves between Scylla and Charybdis. As JPMorgan's Jamie Dimon has warned, the confluence of fiscal deficits, geopolitical fragmentation, and services-driven price stickiness could slow growth even as prices stubbornly rise. The Federal Reserve's wait-and-see posture is not a retreat into dovishness but rather an exercise in disciplined restraint recognising that an ill-timed rate cut amid tariff-induced uncertainty could fan the flames of inflation. Yet patience wears thin when households confront rising housing and health care costs, and businesses postpone investment decisions in an environment of shifting trade winds. In short, America may find itself stuck in a growth-sapping quagmire if policy missteps escalate. Parallel to Europe, US policy towards China underscores another illusion: the myth of decoupling. Political rhetoric promises a clean break, yet real-world supply chains remain intertwined from semiconductors to rare-earth minerals. As one commentator quipped, 'you can't change horses midstream,' and the world's factories and financial markets have too many co-dependencies to sever without self-inflicted wounds. Moreover, capital markets continue to operate under commercial logic unless explicitly curtailed by sanctions. JPMorgan's underwriting of bonds for CATL, China's battery champion, reinforces that markets will fill any void left by politics. This pragmatism runs through corporate boardrooms and portfolio strategies worldwide: Firms seek opportunity, not political blame games. If Trump's tariff theatre embodies the art of the deal on steroids, then the path forward must be guided by the art of the possible. First, Washington and Brussels should revive a 'zero-for-zero' roadmap — under which the US lifts existing 25% duties on autos, steel, and aluminium in exchange for reciprocal EU cuts on a broader basket of industrial goods. This will re-establish trust and avert escalation. Second, policymakers must recognise that trade deficits are neither inherently villainous nor indicative of exploitation. Economies trade because they gain from specialisation — the very principle that powered US growth in the 20th century and underpins today's global value chains. A 'common sense and economic sense' approach, as one market observer put it, would accept that deficits in goods can be offset by surpluses in high-value services such as software, finance, and entertainment. Finally, the Federal Reserve should maintain its disciplined stance, ready to act if inflation expectations become unanchored but cautious about cutting rates before the fog of tariffs lifts. A clear, jointly communicated roadmap on trade policy would reduce uncertainty and allow the Fed to calibrate policy without the overhang of political theatrics. In politics, as in economics, words without action are like 'bells without tongues' — loud but hollow. The real test for US leadership will be to balance the electoral allure of tough talk with the needs of an open, efficient economy. The world is watching: Will Washington choose spectacle, or will it choose stability? Shruti Punia is fellow, Helsinki Geoeconomics. The views expressed are personal
