The first big Black Ops 7 Zombies drop is here

Summary

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has kicked off its Zombies intel cycle with a cinematic intro for the next map, Ashes of the Damned. The reveal dumps players into the Dark Aether and reintroduces eight incarnations of the Zombies crew — Grigori Weaver, Dr Elizabeth Grey, Major Mackenzie ‘Mac’ Carver, Maya Aguinaldo, Tank Dempsey, Takeo Masaki, Nikolai Belinski and Dr Edward Richtofen. The cinematic sets a grim tone: the team is drained of life force by a mysterious hat‑wearing antagonist and must fight through a twisted version of Janus Towers Plaza.

Treyarch teases a much larger intel blast next week with full details on systems, enemies and round‑based Zombies features. Beta dates are confirmed: Early Access from 2 October (10AM PT) and Open Beta from 5 October (10AM PT) through 8 October, with internet required for participation. Zombies content for Black Ops 7 is slated to arrive on 14 November.
