Activision has yet to say a word about this year's Call of Duty They lost, but that hasn't stopped the rumor mill from churning at full speed. This time, a Report on Reddit (now deleted) caused a stir, as he claims to have participated in an official CoD study group. The alleged statements sound like a wild mix of fan service, visions of the future, and old acquaintances.
Open world, old heroes: Black Ops dares to reboot.
Accordingly, should Call of Duty 2025 a direct successor of Black ops ii The game will be set in 2035 – picking up exactly where Woods and Mason's stories seemingly never quite ended. At its heart is a supposedly open world called Avalon, which can not only be freely explored but also offers co-op action for up to four players. An open-world campaign in the Call of Duty universe? Sounds ambitious – and above all, like a drastic change of direction for the series.
But that's not all. The Zombies mode is supposed to... returning to its turn-based roots, including a remake of the cult map "Tranzit" and – brace yourself – the return of the original crew. However, in the form of multiverse versions. Apparently, there will also be Call of Duty Not immune to the Marvel trend. A difficulty switch and a stronger story focus could finally make the mode a serious alternative again – or a playground for chaos with depth.
Zombies, multiverses, and 32-versus-32
In multiplayer, we can expect a 32v32 mode reminiscent of "Ground War," and Japanese-style maps that are likely a homage to old fan favorites. The progression system apparently incorporates elements from... Black Ops 6 and combines tried-and-tested killstreaks and perks with new ideas. Even the universally controversial Omni-Movement is likely to return.
What ultimately makes it into the final game remains to be seen – as is typical with such tests. The study group primarily served to gather feedback. In other words: nothing is final, but some things are certainly promising.
Call of Duty 2025 Activision clearly aims to do a lot – uniting nostalgia, innovation, and multiverse fantasies under one roof. If Activision can pull off this balancing act, Black Ops 7 could be more than just another rehash – perhaps even a genuine reboot with familiar heroes.
