The Next Reveal for Black Ops 7 Scheduled for August’s Gamescom Opening Night Live

Hey, so here we are, and what’s the deal with Activision and Black Ops 7? Like, seriously, they dropped a teaser back in June during the Xbox Showcase. Boom, and then… radio silence. Anyone else feel like they just ghosted us? Anyway.

So, they promised more info over the summer. But did they give us a date? Nope. Just left us hanging. Fast forward to now, mid-July — a whole month later. And guess what? Activision finally decided to announce that we’re gonna see more of it in August. Like, oh, thanks for that heads-up, right?

Mark your calendars! Or, you know, don’t, but August 19 is when they’re showing it at gamescom Opening Night Live. It’s a Tuesday — but who even keeps track of days anymore? The show kicks off at 11am PT, 2pm ET, 7pm UK. Jot that down or just let your phone remind you.

Here’s what’s got everyone scratching their heads: Call of Duty is usually such a big deal they’d throw their own party just to show it off. But this year? Nah, they’re just tacking it onto another show. Maybe they’re going low-key or something. Or saving the fireworks for later? Who knows.

No clue what they’re actually going to reveal on the 19th, though. Maybe a sneak peek, maybe more. Could be we’ll have a longer showcase later in August or even early September. That might tie in neatly with a beta — fingers crossed, right?

The buzz around Black Ops 7 isn’t dying, though. It’s back to near-future settings, and co-op’s returning to the campaign. Fans are hoping for a nice handover from Black Ops 6. Any big announcements are likely sooner rather than later.

Still waiting on a release date, but November seems like a safe bet for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. Anyway — wait, what was I saying? Oh right, stay tuned!
