Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 now has a post-campaign mode called Endgame, revealed by Activision ahead of the game’s November 14 release. The mode opens after players finish the base campaign and aims to extend the multiplayer experience onto an open-world island named Avalon.
Endgame unlocks after players complete the 11 main campaign missions. In its broad strokes, the mode mixes small co-op drops with a larger, shared map: you can form a four-player party to tackle objectives together, while maps can host up to 32 players and are split into four distinct sections with recommended level brackets. Players pick from four Operator classes and tailor loadouts before dropping in, and progression in Endgame contributes to overall ranking across modes.
Endgame unlocks as the epilogue of the #BlackOps7 Co-Op Campaign. Get the intel from @RavenSoftware & @Treyarch:

More technical and design notes are available in the developer blog about the co-op campaign and Endgame mechanics; the blog includes a PvE section with additional context and examples of play loops. Black Ops 7 balances a traditional campaign that can be played solo or in co-op with multiplayer-first ambitions. Endgame forces players to finish the campaign if they want to try the new mode, which ties narrative momentum into multiplayer progression. For background on campaign structure and how unified progression works with the rest of the game, see the consolepcgaming.com explainer on the co-op campaign and unified progression.
Previous attempts at open-world style content in Call of Duty drew mixed reactions, so Endgame faces a high bar. Still, locking the mode behind campaign completion gives players a concrete incentive to run through the single-player beats before heading back to the larger multiplayer sandbox.
