A fresh rumor suggests Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 could make its campaign and Zombies modes available earlier than planned. The chatter reignited after PlayStation Store data was analyzed, but developers have pushed back and questions remain.
Where the early-release whisper came from
InsiderGaming first highlighted claims that Activision might move the game’s launch forward. Treyarch, the main developer, previously denied those rumors. Despite that, a well-known PlayStation data sleuth called PlayStation Game Size dug into the PlayStation Store metadata and surfaced details about install size, preload timing, and a possible early availability window for the campaign and Zombies.
What the PlayStation Store data actually shows
According to the store entries, the campaign and Zombies content for Black Ops 7 might be playable as early as November 10, 2025—four days before the official November 14 release date. The findings include expected download size and a preload slot, which is why the leak caught fans' attention.
Why you should stay skeptical
PlayStation Game Size himself warned this could be a PSN server error. That’s a plausible explanation: inaccurate timestamps and placeholder dates occasionally slip into storefront listings. If Treyarch or Activision intended an early drop, they would likely promote it to boost preorders and hype—something that hasn’t happened.
Have early campaign launches happened before?
Yes. Past Call of Duty entries sometimes let players access the campaign early under special promotions. But reports this year suggest there’s no planned early access program, making the PlayStation Store data more likely to be a glitch than a confirmed change.
Official release date and platforms
Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is scheduled to launch on November 14, 2025. It will be available on:
- Xbox Series X|S
- Xbox One
- PlayStation 5
- PlayStation 4
- PC
The game will also be available on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate from day one.
For now, players should treat the early-release chatter as an intriguing rumor rather than fact. Keep an eye on official Treyarch or Activision channels for any confirmed changes to the launch schedule.
