Fans of the classics will be delighted to see the return of Standoff and Fringe. Alongside these map updates, **new game modes like Prop Hunt, Gun Game, One in the Chamber, Sharpshooter, and Sticks & Stones are making their debut, along with a holiday-themed limited-time Takeover mode.**
Zombies and PvE Endgame Content
For those who have a penchant for zombie-slaying, the Astra Malorum map introduces a new chapter in the storyline, while Exit 115 challenges players with its survival map. Returning traps, upgrades, and loot from previous Zombies modes add layers of excitement. Meanwhile, PvE Endgame fans have plenty to look forward to, including four new Endgame events and eight Exotic Skills to earn. A festive holiday-themed event is also on the horizon, keeping the gameplay fresh and engaging.
Despite facing stiff competition from Battlefield 6, Black Ops 7 aims to end 2025 on a high note, with hopes of climbing the sales charts. As players dive into the abundant new content, the coming months will reveal if Call of Duty reclaims its title as the year’s top-selling game.
