It’s a new year. bo7 bot lobby released at the tail end of 2025 had a poor launch, not surpassing Battlefield 6 and ARC Raiders mainly due to its weak content. It has another year to recover so 2026 is important.
A new title and many updates are coming this year. Here’s all the info about mmoset CoD BO7 updates in 2026.
Season 1 Reload
Start with the most recent, Season 1 Reload. It is scheduled for 8th January. This is the major update for 2026. New weapons and modes are included, along with a crossover between Fallout 2 and other games. Note that the crossover only applies to Fallout Season 2 currently on air, not the older game content.
Next, the 115 Days event will be held on January 15th. This holiday was created by the Call of Duty Zombies team. On this day, information regarding the second Zombies season may be released.
Season 2
CoD Blackout 7 is set to receive its Season 2 Update on February 5, which will likely be the most comprehensive update to date. Season 1 of Call of Duty was hailed by many as the largest update ever. Leaks suggest that Season 2 will be at least on par or even greater.
Warzone players may find the current content of Warzone a bit lacking. Warzone Season 2 is going to bring significant changes. Weekend game updates have not been enough.
Rebirth Island’s map will be completely overhauled first. The development team wants to maintain its classic identity, while giving players a completely new map experience.
Blackout mode, which was previously exclusive to CoD Warzone will also return, with new exclusive content from the development team. Avalon map will be added from Endgame to Warzone.
The return of Ranked Play for its second season has officially been confirmed. The return of the competitive mode is eagerly anticipated by many players each year in an effort to sharpen their skills. Black Ops 6 made a grave mistake by introducing a crude ranked mode. This led to widespread cheating, and inaccurate rankings.
The CoD Black Ops Season 2 development team is aiming to release an improved version that’s free of cheating problems. This mode will also be available in Multiplayer and Warzone.
As this could be the final Black Ops game for the next couple of years, it is likely that the developers will go all out with rewards. This includes Operator skins, Calling Card sets, badges and weapon blueprints.
Seasons Still to Come
Black Ops 7 is still in its early stages, so players can expect to see Seasons 3 and 4 as the game progresses. The specific update plans of these seasons are still unknown. However, we can almost guarantee that each season will have a number of IP collaborations.
Call of Duty is a great candidate for collaborations across industries. John Wick Chapter 5 (due to be released in 2020) and the Halo Evolved remaster are two potential partners.
Players may witness multiple collaborations similar to those that have occurred in recent years due to the popularity of the Fallout Series during CoD Bo7 in 2026.
Modern Warfare 4
Around the fourth Call of Duty season, the work on the next Call of Duty will start. Black Ops 7 is said to have more content than Modern Warfare 3 in its updates.
The plan currently is to release a large volume of content over the first four season, and to reduce that amount thereafter. This will allow the developers to concentrate their efforts on the marketing of CoD Modern Warfare 4
Modern Warfare 4 could be marketed very early. Easter eggs may even appear at the end or beginning of Season 4 in CoD BO7.
Call of Duty BO6 was the last game to launch an early campaign. The official marketing will begin in May 2024 with live-action trailers. The marketing will start earlier, and be more aggressive, this time around, due to Black Ops 7’s lower sales than Modern Warfare 3’s, and Grand Theft Auto 6’s release in November.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s new marketing strategy is likely to begin with events and Easter eggs within the game. It will then expand into real-world trailers, posters, and eventually gameplay and campaign trailers.
Haunting Event
The Haunting is the most anticipated event in Black Ops 7 and will take center stage after Modern Warfare 4 launches.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 saw rumors that Resident Evil character like Leon S. Kennedy or Ada, originally planned for Black Ops 6 and delayed to Black Ops 7, might be added. Pennywise was rumored to be included.
The developers have not been shy in introducing characters from The Haunting. Characters like Chucky and Jason as well as Scream were introduced before. The developers are expected to release even more cross-over content in the future, so players can look forward to it.
The update pace of CoD Black Ops 7 has been slow. However, the future is full of new content, and there will be many crossover collaborations.
