Attention, Call of Duty fans! It’s time to prepare for a significant shift in Black Ops as we wave goodbye to some iconic skins from Black Ops 6, including beloved characters like Beavis & Butthead and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. With Black Ops 7 on the horizon, Activision has made a crucial announcement regarding the game’s direction.
According to Activision, skins and operators from BO6 will not carry over into Black Ops 7. The new game aims to feel more authentic to the Call of Duty experience and its distinct setting. This decision is part of a broader effort to reinforce the brand’s identity, responding directly to community feedback.
Activision commented, “We know there’s been a lot of conversation recently about the identity of Call of Duty. Some have expressed that we’ve drifted from what made Call of Duty unique: immersive, intense, and grounded gameplay. We take this feedback seriously.” This reflects a renewed focus on providing the core elements that fans cherish.
Will Black Ops 7 feature its own quirky skins? While it’s unclear, recent changes at Activision suggest they are reevaluating collaborations that may detract from the game’s authenticity, shifting away from previous inclusions like cartoon characters and pop icons.
In a recent community update, Treyarch stated, “In Black Ops 7, bundles and items will fit the Black Ops identity. We’re committed to balancing the immersive core experience.” Feedback from the community is being leveraged heavily as they develop the new title, indicating that player voices will play a vital role in shaping the game.
The content from BO6 will remain accessible in Warzone, giving players some continuity. This announcement is likely to please fans who have expressed concerns over the recent direction of the Call of Duty franchise. Social media reactions have been largely positive thus far.
Is there a possibility that competition from Battlefield 6, along with potentially lower pre-order sales, influenced this decision? As we await further details, we can look forward to more information being shared during the Zombies reveal in September and the upcoming Call of Duty Next event on September 30.
What does this mean for the future of Call of Duty skins?
Activision is moving towards a more cohesive identity for Black Ops 7, focusing on authenticity rather than eclectic collaborations.
