Black Ops 7 Season 1 release date

As of now, Activision hasn’t confirmed the exact BO7 Season 1 release date. However, based on the series’ release patterns, the first major season typically launches around a month after release. Activision also avoids major updates too close to the holidays, allowing developers time to recharge before the new year.

Given that Black Ops 7 arrives on Nov. 14, you can expect Season 1 to go live sometime in early to mid-December. For now, this timeline remains unconfirmed, but we’ll update this article as soon as Activision announces the official date.
