Black Ops 7 release date leaked and it’s later than you’d expect
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7‘s release date has been leaked by a reliable insider ahead of the game’s official reveal in August.
According to TheGhostOfHope,BO7is set to release globally onFriday, August 18, 2025. This would make it the latest Call of Duty release we’ve seen, being a day later than Cold War’s release back in 2020.
We’ll need to wait and see whether this turns out to be true, but Hope has accurately leaked tons of details in the past, so it’s about as reputable as it gets without coming from the developers.
However, we should get official word from Activision during the official reveal atGamescom Opening Night Liveon July 09, 2025.

Black Ops 7 set to be the latest CoD release ever
Call of Duty games typicallylaunch in October or November, with BO7’s mid-November date would be the latest yet. Here’s a quick overview of the past few years’ release dates:
So, it’s not wildly outside the norm for a Call of Duty release, but it is the latest we’ve seen yet. When the Season 1 update and Warzone integration drops is another matter, as they typically arrive in November or early December to give the devs time to iron out any major issues before the holiday break.
It would also line up with Xbox’s schedule for the remainder of 2025, with the November slot currently being open followingNinja Gaiden 4’s releaseon October 21 andThe Outer Worlds 2on October 29.
