Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 now gives players a compelling reason to stick with the campaign after its finale. Developer Treyarch has introduced Endgame, a new cooperative PvE mode that extends the campaign experience.
Endgame becomes available once a player completes the 11 co-op campaign missions. It supports solo play or squads of up to four, and matches can scale to include as many as 32 participants across multiple squads. Players who haven’t unlocked Endgame themselves can still join a session if a party leader invites them.
The action unfolds on Avalon — a sprawling map drawn from the campaign and dotted with zones influenced by earlier Black Ops entries. You’ll drop in as one of the story characters or choose from 24 Operators, customizing your loadout before deployment. A wide array of abilities and tools are available, from Ballistic Shell (a deployable energy shield) and Crash Cart (instant self and squad revives) to the War Machine grenade launcher, plus many other tactical options.
Avalon is split into progressively tougher sectors. As a match progresses your Combat Rating climbs, unlocking new Skills and Power Upgrades that boost Health, Armor, Speed, and Damage. Those gains are tenuous: if you fall in a firefight you forfeit the upgrades, and if your squad fails to extract before the match timer expires, all accumulated progression is lost — a mechanic familiar to players of extraction-style shooters.
There’s a lot to explore in Endgame. For the full breakdown of mechanics, Loadout options, and examples, see the official Call of Duty blog. Early chatter on YouTube and Reddit suggests the community is eager to test this blend of DMZ-style extraction and Modern Warfare Zombies–like PvE.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launches on November 14, 2025, for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
