The same development team of Raven Software and Treyarch is making Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 which made Black Ops 6, but fear not, they’ve had longer than a year to turn it around. In fact, production of Call of Duty’s latest began at the exact same moment as last year’s release.

Hardcore Gamer sat down with Design Director Matt Schrantz and Senior Director of Production Yale Miller to discuss Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

New to Call of Duty multiplayer in Black Ops 7 is Skirmish, a 20v20 mode that blends objective-based play with abilities like wingsuiting, grappling hooks, and vehicles for large-scale combat.
