Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 has remained active since its launch. Treyarch has separated Endgame from the co-op campaign and released Nuketown 2025 for multiplayer play. The community was also rewarded for completing the first Easter Egg with a Zombies mode inspired by classic themes, called Cursed. However, the full experience will really begin next month.
Season 1 will start on December 4, 2025. Activision has not announced an exact time, but based on previous updates and what’s typical, it will most likely go live around 5 p.m. GMT, 12 p.m. Eastern, and 9 a.m. Pacific.
When Season 1 kicks off, players will see Warzone integrated into the game alongside the new battle pass, a fresh Zombies map, several returning weapons, and other updates.
### Black Ops 7 Season 1 Zombies Maps
The first Zombies map that arrives after launch is called Astra Malorum. It will drop next month along with two new survival maps, Exit 115 and Zarya Cosmodrome, which branch from Vandorn Farm. Astra Malorum takes place on a floating skull in space, accessible by flying through an asteroid field using a modified Ol’ Tessie. The map hints that the pickup truck from previous versions might not be used here, as Richtofen jokes about parking as the crew ventures through space.
The survival maps Exit 115 and Zarya Cosmodrome join Vandorn Farm in the new season.
### Black Ops 7 Season 1 Multiplayer Maps
Season 1 will add a total of seven new multiplayer maps, including Nuketown 2025, which is available now since November 20. The other maps include Fate, Utopia, Odysseus, Standoff, Meltdown, and Yakei. Treyarch has indicated there will be more maps to come, and dataminers have already started uncovering plans for remasters of Vertigo and Gridlock, although these might be saved for future seasons. It’s important to note that leaks should be taken with caution.
There’s also a glimpse of a Christmas-themed map called Sleighjacked, a holiday version of Hijacked.
### New Season 1 Weapons
Several new weapons will be accessible across multiplayer, Zombies, and Endgame modes. Notable among them are the Maddox assault rifle from Black Ops 4 and the return of classic series staples like the Crossbow and Ballistic Knife. Data miners have also spotted references to three additional assault rifles, a marksman rifle, another melee weapon, an assault shield, a shotgun, a special weapon, three SMGs, and a sniper rifle. Some may appear in Season 1, while others could be saved for later updates or future seasons.
### Black Ops 7 Warzone Integration
The first season will feature integration with Warzone, allowing players to use all weapons within the battle royale mode. This update also includes new mastery camos and calling card challenges.
The familiar Verdansk map will make a return, with two new points of interest: the factory and the signal station. Additionally, Resurgence mode will be refreshed with a new map called Haven’s Hollow, an expanded area of Liberty Falls, which includes the Shattered Veil mansion from Black Ops 6 Zombies.
