Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will arrive on Friday, November 14, 2025, and there will be no early access for any part of the game, Activision says. Rumors cropped up after some preload dates and other listings suggested the campaign and Zombies might open before multiplayer, or that the whole release could be moved up by a week. Those whispers are put to rest by an official confirmation that the launch date stands and that no component of Black Ops 7 will be playable ahead of November 14.
CharlieINTEL posted the clarification on X and relayed the same line from Activision that the release date is unchanged and no early access will be available.

At launch Black Ops 7 will include a co-op campaign with varied locales described as ranging from neon-lit rooftops in Japan to the Mediterranean coast. Multiplayer opens day one with 16 6v6 maps and two 20v20 maps. Round-based Zombies returns, with players diving into the Dark Aether. Questions about how launch day will handle crossplay, progression, and any timed promotions are still worth watching as teams publish final details ahead of November 14.
