Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s Season 01 gets a full detailing

The biggest Season 01 in the history of the franchise? That’s what Activision is calling the first drop for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

The latest Black Ops expands

When it comes to Activision’s premier first-person shooter, it’s not all that unique to see a launch followed up by new content in short order. Say what you like about the yearly installments of Call of Duty, but under-supported they aren’t.

We typically see loads of post-launch content for the games in the set, and that holds true for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Just revealed by the publisher, Season 01 is indeed inbound, and it’s packing a massive load of new… well, kind of “new” everything. The downloadable content pack is so chucked, that the press release actually calls it the “biggest Season 01 ever”.

How packed is it? Season 01 includes new events and skills for Black Ops 7. That’s not all though, as it also opens up the Endgame, and brings in the always festive CODMAS. Like to dig into the multiplayer? Well, good, because there are maps and modes aplenty coming, along with a sniping aerial drone.

But what about Zombies, you ask. Have no fear, we answer, as the popular mode will be receiving a new map and event, plus a host of other goodies. That’s not all either, as Warzone is loading up with some fresh content too. All of the above adds up to be quite the chunky dose of DLC, no matter which CoD you prefer to play.

Check out all the highlights below, for what’s on the way, and click here for the Call of Duty blog. There you’ll be able to dig into even more.
