The gaming community is buzzing with excitement as Activision gears up to unveil significant gameplay elements of its highly anticipated “Call of Duty: Black Ops 7” during the annual Call of Duty: Next event. Taking place in Las Vegas at the futuristic Area 15 venue, this year’s event promises to offer an even more immersive experience that aligns precisely with the dynamic energy of the new game installment.
Over the years, Call of Duty: Next has become an essential platform for showcasing new features, and this year is no exception. Activision plans to give fans a first look at the eagerly awaited Multiplayer mode, the beloved Zombies mode, and the new free-to-play “Call of Duty: Warzone Resurgence,” known as “Haven’s Hollow.” The event also hosts the World Series of Warzone (WSOW), where more than 150 players will compete for a $1M prize pool, as well as the sixth edition of the Call of Duty Endowment (C.O.D.E.) Bowl presented by USAA.
In a notable highlight, the “Call of Duty” team has gone all out by collaborating with West Coast Customs to bring the game’s “Wonder Vehicle” to life, an integral component of the “Black Ops 7” Zombies mode. This real-life version features striking details such as triple abomination heads on the hood, a turret on top, and a “Pack-A-Punch” machine in the back, promising fans a tangible snippet of the game’s thrilling atmosphere.
Another exciting feature of this year’s event is the inclusion of animatronic experiences with the T.E.D.D. robot—inviting interaction from attendees. Additionally, creators will partake in races with Polaris vehicles in the Mojave Desert, further enhancing the unique and interactive elements of the event.
Moving from one “Black Ops” game to another has allowed Activision to maintain momentum and scale up the showcase’s immersive environment. The focus on creating a larger-than-life experience is evident in every detail, from the expanded community elements to the increased participation of creators and enhanced technological applications at the venue.
While the star-studded cast of “Black Ops 7” may not be present at the event, their essence and contribution to the game’s narrative remain significant. Fans can expect behind-the-scenes content that will enrich the gameplay reveal experience.
Attendees of the Las Vegas event will be treated to exclusive hands-on experiences and interactions with the impressive real-life game elements, such as the Wonder Vehicle and T.E.D.D., ensuring a memorable weekend. In contrast, fans worldwide will have the opportunity to experience the excitement through live-streamed global moments, intertwined with insights and streams shared by creators and the press. This dual approach allows for the distribution of the event’s energy and essence to the broader community, keeping the spirit of Call of Duty alive across the globe.
