Key points

  1. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 01 begins on Dec. 4, launching a long list of updates and content. 
  2. The endgame and Avalon map are now accessible instantly. 
  3. Four Avalon Rampage events are launching. 

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 season 01 launches on Dec. 4, bringing a massive list of changes for Activision’s latest Call of Duty titles. The endgame is now instantly accessible to all Black Ops 7 players, with four new events scheduled with a recommended Combat Rating of 45. 

Here is a list of the events, alongside event descriptions, according to the official Call of Duty season 01 blog post

Avalon Rampage: Four Endgame World Events (Launch, In-Season, Mid-Season)

  • You’ll need to face down threats and build up your Operators’ Combat Rating, Skills, and Abilities, as Season 01 brings four multi-stage Events into the mix to challenge players. You’re advised to be at least Combat Rating 45, call up your squad, and bring your highest Rarity Weapons to the fight. Exotic Weapons will certainly help to turn the tide of battle!

World Event: Colossus of Avalon (Launch) Recommended CR: 45 or higher

  • A giant mechanical contraption towers over the Avalon terrain, leaving a bloody path in its wake. Expect an emergency announcement breaking into your comms to alert all Operators within the Avalon combat zones to converge on this massive metal threat. Consult your Tac-map for the expected arrival area, and once certain criteria are met, you can watch the terrifying titan fall from the skies, visible across most of the map.
  • To claim the bounty of rewards on offer for defeating this behemoth, you may need reinforcements outside of your own squad. Tool up, study the giant for weaknesses, expose its core, and take it out! Fail, and the Colossus will blast off into orbit, so don’t delay in your aggression.
  • Operator Advice: Toppling this colossus will be tough, and smaller robotic enemies are likely to be encountered, so you may wish to think about equipping Black Hat (Minor Ability) or Abilities that assist in your evasion or movement capabilities. As always, Crash Cart (Major Ability) will be an excellent choice to keep you and your squad upright in the battle to come!

World Event: Toxic Tyrant (Launch) Recommended CR: 45 or higher

  • Initial Comms suggest a second major threat to Operators within the Avalon theater of combat: In an event codenamed “Toxic Tyrant,” the emergency alert system breaks into your usual combat chatter to warn you of a severe neurotoxin outbreak occurring in Avalon. Stemming the outbreak requires your top-tier team talent and weaponry, as the enemies spilling out of these fear-based summoning anomalies are powerful and unrelenting.
  • With time running out, you’ll need to focus on finding the source of this terror and try not to lose your mind entirely when facing the final, large-scale threat let loose by this hallucinatory biological weapon.

Additional World Events: Wraith Wing (Mid-Season) Recommended CR: 45 or higher

  • The challenges in Endgame will only intensify as the season progresses.
  • In the Mid-Season, keep your eyes to the sky in search of a VTOL manifested by fear, in the Wraith Wing World Event. This advanced Guild aircraft appears to have cloning capabilities with very lethal consequences as this squadron seems hellbent on eliminating as many JSOC Operators as it can. Disable it, fire at the exposed aircraft, and down that bird.
  • In addition, expect a fourth World Event to truly test your skills.

The Season 01 update is marketed as the biggest Call of Duty franchise update to date; Black Ops 7 multiplayer adds new maps, including Fate, Utopia, and Odysseus, among others.

The new season also adds various party modes, including Prop Hunt, Sticks & Stones, Sharpshooter, One in the Chamber, and Gun Game. A new Exotic Skills system is also being added, which can be acquired by completing World Events. Black Ops 7 Zombies received a new map: Astra Malorum. The mode also received the survival map, Exit 115, alongside other new content. Activision debuted Haven’s Hollow, a new resurgence map, in Call of Duty: Warzone.

First-person shooter, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, launched on Nov. 14, 2025, was met with lukewarm reviews and complaints from the community regarding AI-generated assets. As of writing, the title has “Mostly Negative” overall Steam reviews with 2,033 users having provided input.
