Nicolas Cage Joins ‘Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7’

Activision adds Nicolas Cage as a playable operator and rolls out new maps, weapons and Zombies content in a midseason update.

  • Activision is adding actor Nicolas Cage as a playable operator to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in the Season 4 Reloaded update launching on Thursday, June 25.
  • The decision follows years of fan complaints regarding 'ridiculous' crossover skins, even after Activision acknowledged the series had 'drifted from what made Call Of Duty unique' and promised more 'authentic' additions.
  • Alongside the operator, the 'Summer of Action' update introduces new weaponry including the returning AN-94 Assault Rifle, accessible through the new Event Pass and store bundles.
  • Developers at Infinity Ward pledged that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 will exclude 'goofy' skins, insisting every aspect of the October 23, 2026 release will be 'anchored' in the game's narrative.
  • While current players engage with Black Ops 7 updates, the industry watches whether future titles can maintain their commitment to authenticity, with Modern Warfare 4 providing the ultimate test when it launches later this year.
