Will Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 skip Switch 2 launch? Release date leaked

New leaks reveal that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is set to launch on November 14, targeting PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. Industry insider Billbil-kun has shared insights regarding the game's release schedule and pricing ahead of its anticipated full unveiling during Gamescom Opening Night Live on August 19. According to a report on Dealabs, the upcoming title will be available on various platforms, including PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S/X, and PC through Steam and Battle.net. However, it appears that the Nintendo Switch 2 will not feature the game at its launch, despite Microsoft's earlier commitment to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo's console as part of a 10-year agreement established during its 2023 acquisition of Activision Blizzard. While there is no confirmed version of Black Ops 7 for the Switch 2, Microsoft has reiterated its intention to support the new console with first-party releases. Additionally, some third-party developers have begun releasing major titles for the upgraded hardware, leaving the possibility of a future release for Black Ops 7 open. As for pricing, the standard edition is expected to retail at $69.99 (EUR 79.99), while the premium Vault edition will likely be priced at $99.99 (EUR 109.99). Physical copies are anticipated for PlayStation and Xbox platforms, with pre-orders set to open on August 20, immediately following the game's showcase. Developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, Black Ops 7 continues the narrative of David Mason, a prominent character from Black Ops 2. This installment, set in 2035, marks a historic moment for the franchise as it follows the consecutive release of Black Ops 6 in 2024. Fans can look forward to a comprehensive reveal during the Gamescom event, which will be streamed globally starting at 8 PM CEST (11:30 PM IST).
