Black Ops 7 Trailer: Inception Inspired Footage
-large”>
The new Call of Duty game is a big departure. From just a speedy look, it appears extremely different visually and mechanically from any Call of Duty before it.
Following the trailer, the game’s developers took the stage to tell host Geoff Keighley more about the game, which will include a fully cooperative story campaign as well as an all-new PvP (player vs. player) endgame experience that opens up after the main narrative ends.
Arriving just a year after Black Ops 6,the new game is set in 2035 and technically serves as a direct sequel to Black Ops II and prequel to Black Ops 4 (2018) – which might be confusing to casual fans,but such is the nature of the sub-series. The Black Ops games follow their own continuity under the larger Call of Duty banner, and frequently bounce around non-chronologically between eras, with black Ops 4 being the furthest entry in the timeline, taking place in the 2040s.
Unlike last year’s Black ops 6 whose Nineties-era setting brought the franchise back to a (relatively) grounded place, the new game once again stretches into a near-future, pseudo-sci-fi tone with high-tech gadgets and weaponry at players’ disposal. Once again co-developed by Call of duty studios Treyarch and Raven Software, the next entry will have all the modes fans expect like a robust single-player and cooperative campaign, competitive multiplayer, and of course, Zombies.
