Rumors about Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 have increased after a new leak that offers an exciting glimpse into the game’s potential strategy for content after launch. The information comes from a well-known industry insider. It suggests that publisher Activision and developer Treyarch are getting ready for a record amount of seasonal content, moving away from the model used in recent entries of the franchise.
According to the leak, the first four seasons of Black Ops 7 will include significantly more content than its predecessor, Modern Warfare III. This expansion is expected to cover all game modes, beyond just multiplayer. The increased content comes from what was originally planned for Black Ops 6 but was postponed for this upcoming title. This gives the development team more time to concentrate on marketing for Call of Duty 2026.
This change in how content is delivered is also linked to a major engine update planned for the franchise. The leak suggests that the new engine, which is set for the rumored Modern Warfare 4 in 2026, will be a big upgrade, similar to the move from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5. This technology upgrade will reportedly stop support for the older Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles, requiring a full rework of game assets. Therefore, Treyarch and Raven Software have been told to “leave nothing on the table” for Black Ops 7 and its Warzone integration, making sure to provide a feature-rich launch before the series shifts to the new engine.
The idea of a more detailed seasonal roadmap is likely to be appreciated by the Call of Duty community, which has asked for more steady and diverse content after launch. While these are currently unconfirmed reports, the details suggest a studio dedicated to offering a rich gameplay experience, using their current engine to its fullest before the franchise moves to the next generation of console technology.
