While the official launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is slated for November 14, players will have the chance to experience the military shooter`s multiplayer action much earlier, starting in early October. The beta will be accessible across PC, PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S. The Call of Duty blog has recently unveiled the precise dates and times for both the early access and open beta testing phases.
The early access period for the Black Ops 7 beta is scheduled from Thursday, October 2, to Sunday, October 5, concluding at 10 AM Pacific Time (PT) / 1 PM Eastern Time (ET). This phase is exclusively for those who have pre-ordered the game, hold a Game Pass Ultimate subscription, received a code via Xfinity, or watched at least one hour of the Call of Duty: Next broadcast on Twitch. Following this, the open beta testing will commence on Sunday, October 5, and run until Wednesday, October 8, also ending at 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. This open phase will be available to all interested players, including those who participated in early access.
During the beta, participants will be able to test out new gameplay mechanics such as body shields and wall jumping. A Zombies mode map will also be featured, offering a glimpse into the game`s undead combat.
Further extensive details about Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 are anticipated to be revealed at Activision`s annual event, Call of Duty: Next, which takes place today, September 30. The event promises a deeper dive into the Zombies mode, showcase a new Warzone map, and provide live gameplay demonstrations of Black Ops 7.
