- Black Ops 7 Season 1 will likely release sometime in early to mid-December.
- It will bring six multiplayer maps, three Zombies maps, and seven new weapons to the game.
- The map additions include BO2 remakes such as Meltdown and Standoff.
Black Ops 7 will go live on November 14, but Treyarch has already provided information on what players can expect in the post-launch Season 1 update. Billed as the biggest season in Black Ops history, the update will deliver a plethora of maps, weapons, Zombies content, and much more. Closer to its release, the devs will share a comprehensive blog going over the finer details, but for the time being, here’s everything we know so far about Black Ops 7 Season 1.
Black Ops 7 Season 1 Release Date
There is no confirmed release date for Black Ops 7 Season 1, but it will arrive in early to mid-December. BO6’s first seasonal update was released three weeks after launch. Going by that cadence, BO7 Season 1 will likely kick off on December 4.
Black Ops 7 Season 1 New Maps
Black Ops 7’s map roster will get even bigger with six new maps confirmed for Season 1. These include:
- Nuketown (Available on November 20)
- Fate
- Utopia
- Odysseus
- Standoff
- Meltdown
- Yakei
Meltdown and Standoff are, of course, remasters of beloved Black Ops 2 maps, and even the Japan-based Yakei appears to have some similarities to BO2’s Vertigo. We got a glimpse at Fate in B07’s gameplay reveal trailer, with the map confirmed to take place on a Menendez compound in Nicaragua. Utopia is set on an abandoned Guild facility in Australia, while Odysseus pays homage to the Black Ops 2 mission of the same name.
Nuketown needs no introduction, and the map is confirmed to feature some visual upgrades to bring it more in line with Black Ops 7’s color palette.
Black Ops 7 Season 1 New Weapons
BO7 Season 1 will deliver seven new weapons, but only three have been confirmed so far:
- Maddox: Bullpup AR with a rapid rate of fire and excellent handling, last seen in Black Ops 4.
- Crossbow: Single-shot weapon that fires bolts, needs to be reloaded after every round.
- Ballistic Knife: A throwing knife that takes up your lethal equipment slot.
Black Ops 7 Season 1 Zombies Content
There’s plenty in store for COD: Zombies fans during Season 1, on top of the beefy launch offering. While Ashes of the Damned will serve the main Zombies experience at launch, the devs will introduce two Survival maps and a new round-based map with the first seasonal update.
Both survival maps are basically small slices from Ashes of the Damned, molded into an endless experience, while the new round-based map promises to deliver something special. Here are their names:
- Astra Malorum (New round-based map)
- Exit 115 (Survival Map)
- Zarya Cosmodrome (Survival Map)
And that wraps up everything we know about Black Ops 7 Season 1 so far. We’ll be sure to update this guide as more information is revealed. Until then, let us know if you’re excited for the game in the comments.
