Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Reportedly Arriving November 14
A new report from the notoriously accurate insider, billbil-kun, has provided significant details about the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, including its purported release date and launch plans. According to the leak, players can mark their calendars for November 14, when the highly anticipated shooter is expected to hit shelves.
No Nintendo Switch 2 at Launch?
One of the more notable pieces of information from the report concerns the Nintendo Switch 2. Despite Microsoft's 10-year agreement with Nintendo to bring Call of Duty titles to the platform following the Activision Blizzard acquisition, Black Ops 7 will reportedly not be available on the Nintendo Switch 2 at launch. While Activision has previously stated they are collaborating with Nintendo on Call of Duty releases and will share news "when ready," billbil-kun's report indicates that a day-one Switch 2 version is out of the question. It remains unclear whether Activision plans to port the game to Nintendo's new console at a later date.
Physical Editions and Pre-Order Details
For fans who prefer physical copies, Black Ops 7 will be available on disc for both PlayStation and Xbox consoles. European gamers can expect to pay €79.99 for a physical edition. Pre-orders for the game are slated to open on August 20, just hours after a dedicated segment for Black Ops 7 during the Opening Night Live (ONL) ceremony at gamescom 2024. Fans can tune into the ONL livestream on August 19 at 7:00 PM CEST on platforms like YouTube and Twitch. The full gamescom exhibition itself will run from August 20 to August 24 in Cologne, Germany.
Day One Game Pass Launch Confirmed
Adding to the excitement, it has been previously confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will be a day-one addition to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass subscribers. This marks a significant move, making the title accessible to a vast audience right from its release.
What This Means for Players
The leaked details provide a clearer picture for Call of Duty fans eagerly awaiting Black Ops 7. The November 14 release date gives players a firm timeline to look forward to, while the day-one Game Pass inclusion offers a cost-effective way to jump into the action. However, Nintendo fans hoping to play the latest Call of Duty on the rumored Switch 2 at launch may be disappointed, with the possibility of a future port still unconfirmed. As gamescom 2024 approaches, more official details and gameplay reveals are sure to emerge, building anticipation for what promises to be another major entry in the Call of Duty franchise.
