- The publisher pledged “unprecedented seasonal support” for Black Ops 7, with player feedback guiding updates that outlets report will arrive at least monthly.
- A free trial for Black Ops 7 Multiplayer and Zombies will run next week alongside a Double XP weekend to encourage players to sample the game.
