Call of Duty has always been fueled by the community. Every match, every clip, every bit of feedback; you\u2019ve shaped this franchise right alongside us.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tWe know there\u2019s been a lot of conversation recently about the identity of Call of Duty. Some of you have said we\u2019ve drifted from what made Call of Duty unique in the first place: immersive, intense, visceral and in many ways grounded. That feedback hits home, and we take it seriously. We hear you.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tThroughout development, Treyarch and Raven\u2019s north star has been to deliver a spiritual successor to Black Ops 2 while taking some big swings. You\u2019ll see it across Black Ops 7\u2019s Multiplayer, Zombies, Co-Op Campaign (including Endgame), and even Dead Ops Arcade 4.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tOver the years, we\u2019ve had a variety of games and experiences that fans have enjoyed from the Modern Warfare series to the Black Ops series and beyond. Today, we wanted to share with you some of the ways we\u2019re approaching things with Black Ops 7.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tWhat\u2019s Changing and Why<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tOperators, Operator Skins, and Weapons from Black Ops 6 will no longer carry forward into Black Ops 7.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tBlack Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting. That is why Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon content will not carry forward to Black Ops 7. Double XP tokens and GobbleGums will still carry forward, because we recognize your time and progression are important.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tThis change applies only to Black Ops 7. Call of Duty: Warzone is not affected, and all your Black Ops 6 content stays usable there.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tFighting Cheaters with RICOCHET<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tCheating ruins matches, and we know how frustrating it is. In Black Ops 6, we\u2019ve made solid progress: shutting down cheat makers faster, reducing response times, and cleaning up leaderboards.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tFor Black Ops 7, we\u2019re going further. As we\u2019ve previously detailed in our recent Progress Report, starting November 14, PC players will need to enable Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 on PC, giving us stronger tools to block cheats at the system level.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tNew detection and mitigation systems will also roll out, built to kick cheaters earlier and harder. Some will be tested during the Beta; the full suite will go live at launch. We\u2019re committed to staying ahead and protecting fair play.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tYour Feedback Matters<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tIn Black Ops 7, bundles and items will be crafted to fit the Black Ops identity. We hear the feedback. We need to deliver a better balance toward the immersive, core Call of Duty experience.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tA ton of feedback has already gone into Black Ops 7, and in the coming weeks you\u2019ll hear much more directly from Treyarch.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tHere\u2019s just some of the info you can look forward to from the studio:<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tMultiplayer<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tAdditional info on maps, weapons, and systems \n\tZombies<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tMore info on launch content and the new Wonder Vehicle \n\tAnd More Information<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tProgression: for the first time, earn XP and weapon progression in every mode, across Campaign, Multiplayer, or Zombies \n\tCall of Duty: NEXT & the Beta<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tMark your calendars: Call of Duty: NEXT is September 30 with the full Multiplayer reveal and much more. The Early Access Beta starts October 2, and the Open Beta starts October 5, for all players on all platforms through October 8.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tThank you as always for the feedback, and keep it coming.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\t\u2013 The Call of Duty Team<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cskate.,\u201d the fourth installment in Electronic Arts\u2019 \u201cSkate\u201d video game franchise, has unveiled its gameplay trailer.
