Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Developer Accidentally Posts Private Playtest Details to Public COD App

  • On June 27, 2025, Activision or developers Treyarch and Raven Software accidentally pushed internal Black Ops 7 playtest details and new game mode images to all Xbox users via the Call of Duty app.
  • This event followed significant leaks reported by CharlieIntel revealing two unannounced multiplayer modes, Overload and Skirmish, which appeared in the accidentally shared images.
  • Overload is a tactical 6v6 mode where teams compete to control and deliver a neutral EMP device to the enemy HQ to score points, and Skirmish is a 20v20 large-scale mode with wingsuits for fast map traversal and objective capture.
  • Activision has not officially confirmed these details and cautions that all information remains unconfirmed until an official announcement, which could happen later this summer or at Gamescom.
  • The accidental reveal and leaks suggest Black Ops 7, expected on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC without confirmed release date, may introduce new tactical gameplay and movement systems impacting player strategies.
