Season one of Black Ops 7 is being called the “biggest season ever” in CoD, and judging by what Treyarch and Activision have already revealed about it, I’m inclined to agree. Whether it’s weapons, maps, Zombies, Warzone, game modes, or even Endgame, there’s something to look forward to not long after launch.

Here’s everything we know so far about what’s to come in season one of BO7.

When does Black Ops 7 season 1 start?

Black Ops 7 season one is set to begin on Dec. 4, according to Activision. Given past season upadates, season one of BO7 should go live on Thursday, Dec. 4 at around 11am CT.

Seven weapons

The Maddox assault rifle, Crossbow, and Ballistic Knife are just some of the weapons already confirmed to be coming to players’ arsenals in season one, with four more yet to be announced. Weapons will be available for free in the battle pass as well as unlockable with challenges in limited time events.

In sticking with the game’s theme, sevens are wild this season. Season one will include seven new and remastered maps, including BO2 classics Standoff and Meltdown, new maps called Fate, Utopia, and Odysseus, and one more.

New multiplayer modes

Sticks and Stones, the classic party mode from Black Ops 1, will make its return shortly after season one, along with Prop Hunt, holiday limited time modes, and more.

Three Zombies maps

New Zombies content

Light Mend, Mister Peeks, and Frost Blast are among the Zombies loadout equipment being added in season one. Treyarch also confirmed limited time Zombies modes for the holidays and later.

Treyarch is tight-lipped about additional Endgame content so far, but Activision reps hinted at limited time modes and more coming as part of season one, including some very familiar boss enemies, and potentially more to come.

Warzone integration

BO7 content will be fully integrated into the free-to-play Warzone as part of season one, including the new Resurgence map Haven’s Hollow and all of the weapons in the game.

Collaborations

In a now-deleted post by leaker @TheGhostofHope, they reported that season one will feature a collaboration with Bethesda’s Fallout series. While Activision has said that BO7 will be “more grounded” in its design, some brand collabs will likely still take place.
