Call of Duty Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 01: Full Overview

Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Season 01 launches on December 4, 2025, promising the largest and most diverse content update the franchise has seen. It includes expansive new multiplayer maps, a fresh round-based Zombies map, Warzone updates, and an integrated Endgame experience. Here’s a detailed overview of what’s coming for players this season.

Call of Duty Black Ops 7: Endgame Campaign and New World Events

Endgame, the sprawling Avalon map campaign, has been made instantly accessible to all players as of November 21. This expansive area offers multiple challenging World Events showcasing new enemy mechanics and requiring high skill and gear. For example, the Colossus of Avalon event pits players against a towering mechanical titan that demands squad coordination and careful strategy to defeat. Later in the season, the Toxic Tyrant event introduces intense combat with a hazardous neurotoxin outbreak accompanied by fear-induced hallucinations.

Players can unlock eight new Exotic Skills, such as the melee-focused Mega Punch and the survivability-focused Resurrection skill, by completing these World Events. Mid-season, the new Phantom Skill Track adds more advanced abilities emphasizing stealth and critical hits. To bring a festive flair, the Avalon Endgame will also feature CODMAS events with holiday-themed snowballs and gift boxes, enhancing the seasonal experience.

New Multiplayer Maps and Modes

Season 01 introduces six new maps plus some remastered classics. Launch maps include Utopia, Fate, and Odysseus, each offering unique environments, from futuristic research facilities to surreal dreamlike compounds and claustrophobic carrier decks.

The remastered Standoff from Black Ops 2 returns with updated visuals, a fan-favorite for competitive play. Mid-season will add the Sleighjacked holiday-themed variant, Yakei—a rooftop combat map in a neon-lit Japanese city—and Meltdown, a remake of another classic.

Players also get several returning party modes like Prop Hunt, One in the Chamber, and Gun Game. A notable new mode called Takeover pitches two teams against each other to control neutral zones that randomly shift locations, requiring dynamic team tactics. Holiday-themed LTMs like Holiday Havoc and Snowfight infuse seasonal cheer with unique gameplay twists.

Zombies: Astra Malorum and More Survival Challenges

Astra Malorum, a new round-based Zombies map set in a century-old observatory near Saturn, takes players deeper into the Dark Aether’s mysteries. Players confront O.S.C.A.R., a formidable robotic elite enemy with a range of lethal attacks, while wielding the unique LGM-1 Wonder Weapon—a retro sci-fi gun firing autonomous saucer drones.

Season 01 further expands Zombies with the Survival mode Exit 115 and introduces new gameplay content including Directed Mode with quest guidance and Cursed Mode increasing map difficulty. Returning perks like Mule Kick allow players to carry extra weapons, further enhancing combat strategies. The season also brings holiday-themed variants like Jingle Hells with freezing snowballs that slow zombies and gift drops.

Call of Duty Warzone Integration: New Resurgence Map and Gameplay Enhancements

Warzone Season 01 integrates tightly with Black Ops 7, resetting player levels with cross-mode progression across Co-Op, Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone itself. A brand-new Resurgence map, Haven’s Hollow, set in the Appalachian Mountains, joins the pool alongside remastered points of interest like the Factory and Signal Station in Verdansk.

Movement overhauls include Tac Sprint now a perk, Combat Roll introduced, and wall jump and grapple hook mechanics showcased in limited time modes. Loadouts lose Wildcards but default to Overkill, with a five-attachment max per weapon and weapon prestige features enabled. Equipment variety expands with tactical gadgets such as Needle Drone and Phantom Signal. Perk categories have been restructured with a new Adaptive Perk added for strategic depth.
