Those who pre-order Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, or have an active Xbox Game Pass subscription, can take part in an early beta session from 6pm on October 2nd. Everyone else will be able to join 72 hours later on October 5th — no purchase of the game required — and that beta period ends on October 8th at 6pm, UK time.

Activision has outdone its "Black Ops" ways with Friday's release of the latest campaign marketing tactic for its upcoming "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7,"

A remarkable new report claims that Black Ops 7's campaign finale will be a multiplayer experience with an extraction shooter feel.

Since being announced back in June at the Xbox Games Showcase, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has kept surprisingly quiet. That is, until now. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is bound to find stiff competition with Battlefield 6 this fall, but a surprising and effective marketing campaign is teasing something big for the former.
