Black Ops 7 Release Date: Countdown and What to Expect

If you’re eager to dive into Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 as soon as possible, consider this: you can play it before the official release date by using a clever trick involving New Zealand!

Airfare to New Zealand might be steep, but if you have a gaming console or PC, you can manipulate some settings to start playing at 5 AM CT on November 13 (that’s midnight in New Zealand). Here’s everything you need to know about the popular New Zealand trick for early access to Black Ops 7.

How to Use the New Zealand Trick for Black Ops 7

By following the steps of this trick, you can enjoy BO7 right when the countdown hits midnight NZ time on November 14, no matter your global location:

While things may change, this method has been effective in the past. Keep an eye on November 13 to see if it still works or if Activision takes action against New Zealand travelers.

  6. Click “SAVE.”
  7. Access your System Settings on PC.
  8. Choose “Time & Language.”

Are there reliable ways to play games early? Yes! Using the New Zealand method has proven effective for past titles.

What are the benefits of changing your account’s location? Changing your account to a New Zealand address allows you to unlock games earlier than in your local region.

Will these methods still be effective for Black Ops 7? While proven in previous years, it’s uncertain if Activision may close these loopholes for the new title.
