Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 leak reveals new modes and screenshots via Xbox app
New details have emerged around Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7, including two brand new modes and a hint at the new movement system. Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7 was officially announced during the Xbox showcase earlier this month, and while we know some details about the sequel, it's unclear what sets this entry apart from all its predecessors. Developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, Black Ops 7 is a story sequel to 2012's Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2. The campaign is set in 2035 and follows a team of agents led by David Mason and, as usual, this sits alongside the usual multiplayer and round-based Zombies modes. However, a couple of new additions to the multiplayer suite have since been leaked via the Call Of Duty Xbox app, along with a potential tease towards the game's movement mechanic. According to CharlieIntel, an internal developer-only Black Ops 7 playtest was scheduled to take place this weekend, which 'accidentally pushed the message of the day to everyone' on Xbox via the Call Of Duty app. This message included several screenshots which highlighted two new modes. The first is called Overload, which is described as a team-based 6v6 mode where players 'fight to control a neutral EMP device that must be delivered to the enemy HQ for score'. In other words, it sounds like a reverse spin on Capture The Flag. The second mode is a 20v20 mode called Skirmish, where players complete objectives on a large map in a similar vein to 32v32 mode Ground War. 'Capture points of interest, destroy payloads, and transmit valuable data to score,' the description reads. 'Use your wingsuit to flank and reach objectives before your enemy. The first team to reach the score limit wins!' Sign up to the GameCentral newsletter for a unique take on the week in gaming, alongside the latest reviews and more.

BREAKING: An internal developer message of the day for BLACK OPS 7 accidentally went live on the Xbox Call of Duty app showing new details NEW MODE: Overload NEW MODE: 20v20 — CharlieIntel (@charlieINTEL) June 27, 2025 This confirms the wingsuit will return in Black Ops 7, after it was previously featured in Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 4. More Trending Earlier this month, Activision confirmed there will be no wall-running or jetpacks in Black Ops 7, as it is set 30 years prior to Black Ops 3. However, Stephanie Snowdon, Activision's senior director of communications, did say it will feature 'an evolution of omni-movement' from Black Ops 6. While it's unclear what this evolution will be, some players have spotted what looks like an exosuit of some kind in the background of one of the leaked screenshots. While it could be a cosmetic item, reliable Call Of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope has claimed the sequel will feature 'wall jumping' instead of wall running, so it could be related. Activision has not yet announced a release date for Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7, but a full reveal is promised 'later this summer'. Email gamecentral@ leave a comment below, follow us on Twitter.

Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded Release Date Revealed
If you enjoy smaller, quicker Black Ops 6 multiplayer experiences, the Season 4 Reloaded update has you covered with a pulse-pounding new Gunfight map. The next big midseason update adds multiplayer maps, zombies events and gameplay features for Warzone's battle royale mode. Whether you're looking to earn time-limited rewards, try out your Season 4 weapons in some new places or you just want to enjoy zany map reskins, Season 4 Reloaded has something for everyone. Here's everything you need to know about the arrival of Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded, including the release date and time, and what new content you can expect to see once the update arrives for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S and PC. In Season 4 Reloaded, Black Ops 6 players are getting deadly in Avalon. Activision When does Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded come out? The new Black Ops 6 midseason update will launch on July 2, including a substantial content package for multiplayer and zombies mode players. Here's when the Season 4 Reloaded patch will come out in your time zone: Eastern Time: July 2, 2025 at 12 p.m. Central Time July 2, 2025 at 11 a.m. Mountain Time: July 2, 2025 at 10 a.m. Pacific Time: July 2, 2025 at 9 a.m. One of the new multiplayer maps will look very familiar to Black Ops 3 players. Activision/Screenshot by CNET Two new multiplayer maps coming to Black Ops 6 One of developer Treyarch's best three-lane multiplayer maps from Black Ops 3 is making a return in Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded. Fringe is a war-torn version of a small town, where heated sniper battles take place down an open street and flankers scuttle through crowded buildings that fill up the sides of the map. The new version of the map takes place on the grand opening of a rustic-looking distillery -- too bad you won't have time to grab a drink with all the gunfire breaking out around you. Fringe is a medium-sized map for 6v6 core playlists. Eclipse is a much smaller map, but it has a really groovy vibe. This Avalon nightclub is streaked through with purple strobing lights, which could be disorienting in the middle of battle. Your battles here will be up close and personal: Eclipse is a small-sized map designed for 2v2 playlists, but some 6v6 playlists will also add this map to the lineup. The Fortnite-ification of Call of Duty continues as Beavis and Butt-Head join the roster of operators. Activision CODtoons: Cel-shaded map variants arrive alongside Beavis and Butt-Head event Fan-favorite multiplayer maps are getting a cartoon glow up (or glow down?) during the CODtoons event. Cel-shaded versions of Nuketown, Babylon, Skyline, Stakeout and Grind will be added to the game in a special moshpit playlist -- which means it's fairly safe to assume you'll be playing on cel-shaded Nuketown and Stakeout for a majority of the event. The Beavis and Butt-Head event includes a free and premium reward track, wherein players can earn the Olympia shotgun from the original Black Ops, a Pickaxe melee weapon, an SVD full auto mod and a CQB auto conversion kit for the TR2 marksman rifle. If you pay for the premium track, you'll have a chance to earn cel-shaded Beavis and Butt-Head operator skins in their most famous cartoon attire. If you want to deck them out in tactical gear for the true Call of Duty experience, you'll have to shell out even more money for the Tracer Pack: Beavis and Butt-Head. Hope and pray that you pick a map that has a mystery box location in the starting room. Activision Zombies starting room challenge is a new limited-time mode Treyarch has acknowledged the long-standing challenge in the zombies community with an official game mode. Don't worry about neglecting to buy the door -- you physically can't leave the starting area in this limited-time offering. This limited-time mode is available on all of the current Black Ops 6 zombies maps, including Liberty Falls, Terminus, Citadelle des Morts, The Tomb and Shattered Veil. The space you have to work with, wall buy weapons and mystery box, perk machine and GobbleGum machine availability varies by map. Each map will have a special high-round challenge associated with it. If you're able to reach that round without getting downed by the zombie horde, you'll earn 15,000 account XP points, a high-value GobbleGum and a GobbleGum pack. Warzone players aren't getting left out of the fun with the Season 4 Reloaded update. Activision Everything else coming in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded We've covered the biggest parts of Season 4 Reloaded -- but that's not all that this update will change in Black Ops 6. Here are the other changes you'll see with the launch of the midseason patch. Multiplayer The Party Ops limited-time mode is a new free-for-all playlist where players compete in different minigames. These include controlling moving zones (which force you to dance), a version of red light, green light and more. The three top performing players will each count as victors. Zombies The Abomination Challenge limited-time mode brings players back to a fully cel-shaded version of Liberty Falls. Here, opening the church door unleashes Mo, a special boss Abomination zombie that's always in its enraged form. Mo is a real threat -- this guy will gain immunity to weapons frequently fired at him, refuse to eat your tossed grenades and he can knock perk bottles out of you with his charge attack. If you can brave this challenge and defeat the boss, you'll unlock a special calling card. New leaderboard events will let you test your undead-slaying prowess against other Black Ops 6 players and earn special rewards for doing so. Everyone gets something, but the top players will unlock exclusive items for stacking up zombie eliminations. The Grief mode is getting tweaked. Now, you can inflict more punishing effects on enemy players. Revive-based GobbleGums are outright banned, and zombies spawn faster after a zone is captured on the map. Completing Grief matches also guarantees you'll earn a Whimsical-tier GobbleGum, which is a fun little quality-of-life update. Warzone A cel-shaded variant of Rebirth Island will be available to play alongside the multiplayer maps during the CODtoons event. Resurgence Casual and Havoc Amped are new game modes you'll be able to queue for. Havoc Amped lets you drop in with their full loadout in quick 15-minute long matches that ramp up as you unlock special powers when the circle closes. Players will now be able to call in a care package outside of the Clash game mode to earn new gameplay items , the Hand Cannon and Door Barricade. The Loot Master perk is the next way you can augment your Warzone loadout. It's a simple perk, letting you spawn more loot from supply caches. The Search and Destroy contract is a new way to get discounts at buy stations -- if you can hold off against enemy squads for long enough to set off a bomb. Black Ops 6 Season 4 Reloaded will be released for free on July 2 for PlayStation, Xbox and PC. If you want to keep an eye on when we'll get a double XP weekend in Season 4 Reloaded, keep up with our coverage here.

'Call of Duty: Black Ops 6' to kick off double XP weekend on June 19
Call of Duty fans looking to power through their progression tiers have reason to celebrate: a new Double XP event is set to go live across Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone this Thursday, June 19. Quietly added to the in-game event tab, this weekend-long boost offers players the perfect opportunity to catch up on Season 4 unlocks—especially after a rocky launch that left the community divided. With Black Ops 6 Season 4 now in full swing, Treyarch Studios is rolling out the Double XP event across all core modes—Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. Though the official end date hasn't been confirmed, these events typically wrap up on Mondays, suggesting the bonuses will be active through June 23. While Treyarch hasn't clarified whether the upcoming weekend will include Double Weapon XP or Double Battle Pass XP, it's likely to stick to standard XP boosts. Battle Pass XP events are usually reserved for the tail end of a season, and with Season 4 just kicking off, players might have to wait a bit longer for that extra push. The XP boost comes at a critical time. The launch of Season 4 in May was one of the most controversial updates the series has seen in recent memory. Both Black Ops 6 and Warzone were hit with a series of bugs, glitches, and performance issues—many of which rendered certain features or entire sessions unplayable for some users. Though Treyarch and Raven Software have since rolled out hotfixes to address the majority of these problems, the damage to player sentiment was already done. The new Double XP weekend could be part of a broader effort to re-engage the community and reassure players that the developers are back on track. Even with the turbulence surrounding Season 4, Black Ops 6 continues to receive a steady stream of updates, and momentum is already building for the next installment. Following its official reveal earlier this month, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is confirmed to take place in the year 2035 and will act as a direct sequel to the beloved Black Ops 2. The campaign will bring back key characters including David Mason and the infamous Raul Menendez. While the release date has yet to be confirmed, fans can expect Black Ops 7 to drop in the series' traditional fall window—either late October or early November. Activision has confirmed platform support across both current and last-gen consoles: PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
