Intel on the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 era’s Season 02 is here

Fans of the Call of Duty series will soon have a fresh drop of content. That’s coming as a part of Season 02, for Black Ops 7 and Warzone.

Black Ops 7 gets ready for more

Was this past Call of Duty title the most controversial game yet in the first-person shooter series? It just might have been honestly. If you missed it somehow, the title brought the sub-series back into the near-future, and did so with some truly off-the-wall story points and set-pieces. In addition to the campaign though, the multiplayer continued to up the ante, with more lightning-quick play, and options aplenty. And as of today, there’s quite a bit more of that’s inbound.

To that end, Activision has just unleashed a full intel drop for Season 02. It’s got a full look at what looks to be a loaded new content drop for both Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone. The release of said Season is coming up fast, and will offer “a host of new and returning Multiplayer maps and modes”, according to the publisher.

There’s more of course, as Season 02 will also intro a new Survival map for Zombies play, Guild Strikes and Nightmare Zones for Endgame, and a ton more. As CoD Seasons go, this one’s stacked. Scroll down to take a look at the new trailer for it, plus read through the highlights.

Season 02 is expected to arrive for all versions of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone on February 5th, 2026. Just a word too before you dive in, as there’s even more information to be had via the official site. You can find that here.

BO7 Endgame:

• Guild Strikes: Alden Dorne unleashes hell across Avalon in a last-ditch effort to eradicate the JSOC teams. Surprise strikes may occur throughout Avalon, transforming a location into a Nightmare Zone, ensuring no match is the same. These zones have increased difficulty and a Strike Boss that can be defeated for high-tier rewards. 
• New Skill Track and Abilities: Season 02 introduces the Eagle Eye Skill Track, focused on precision, critical damage, and weapon efficiency. Mid-Season, players can unlock two new Abilities — Sentinel Protocol and Blood Burner — adding powerful support and traversal options to Endgame Operator loadouts.
• Glitches (Mid-Season): After defeating a Strike Boss, a Glitch will appear: a mysterious, repeatable, off-map experience where you and up to three others need to survive six waves and defeat the Glitch boss to acquire Nightmare Skills.

BO7 Multiplayer:

• Multiplayer Maps: The Multiplayer map pool expands with a huge selection of brand-new and returning favorites. Launch maps include Torment, Sake, Nexus, and the remastered Slums, while the Mid-Season adds Torque, Cliff Town (a reimagined Yemen), Mission: Peak, and the return of Grind and Firing Range.

• Black Ops 7 Ranked Play: Ranked Play returns as the definitive competitive experience for Black Ops 7, launching with the same rules, modes, maps, and Loadout restrictions as the CDL. Win 3 Placement Matches to receive a starting Rank and then earn SR (Skill Rating) after matches to progress your Rank. Unlock Ranked Play rewards such as Rank Skins, Rank Camos, Blueprints, and more by climbing the Ranks and racking up wins. Competitive integrity features keep matches fair and competitive.

BO7 Zombies:

• New Survival Map: Mars: The fourth Survival map drops players into an ancient temple buried beneath the sands of the red planet. Fight through relentless waves where players face the culmination of the Astra Malorum Main Quest, accessing helpful machines, one with Wonder Weapon potential, and push into deep rounds to earn unique rewards.
• Zombies Modes: Cursed Survival and Starting Room: Fresh Zombies modes arrive at launch, each testing survival skills in different ways. Cursed Survival challenges players across all Survival maps with a pistol start, limited HUD, and a BO3-inspired points system, while Starting Room traps crews in a sealed map entrance where endurance and skill are the keys to unlocking rewards.
• Mid-Season Round-Based Map and New GobbleGum: The narrative deepens in the Mid-Season as the crew’s fate after Astra Malorum leads them toward the new Round-Based Zombies map Paradox Junction, as well as a new Scorestreak, and the new Turncoat GobbleGum, allowing nearby zombies to fight on your behalf.
• Zombies Events: Expect multiple Zombies-focused Events, including Mars Survival and Dead Ops Arcade Leaderboard Events that reward players based on their Highest Round Reached (Survival) and High Score (DOA 4).

• Rebirth Island Gameplay Features: Seasonal gameplay updates layer new mechanics onto Rebirth Island, including visible footprints in deep snow, Dynamic Infil Events such as gas explosions, a Snowstorm Gas Circle, classic Blueprint weapon loot hidden across the map, a Smoke Screen Killstreak, and refined vehicle routes that support faster rotations and aggressive play.
• Modes, Playlists, and Ranked Play: Resurgence: Season 02 delivers a full lineup of Call of Duty: Warzone modes across Verdansk, Haven’s Hollow, and Rebirth Island, including the launch of Ranked Play: Resurgence.
