The showcase opened with the worldwide reveal of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, which takes place in a 2035 world on the brink of chaos. David Mason returns to lead an elite Black Ops squad on a covert mission. Players can team up with a squad or go solo in the mind-bending campaign. The footage also gave a glimpse into the game’s multiplayer and zombies modes.

We attended a preview event for Black Ops 7, and were able to bring you the latest on the details behind the game’s new embrace of a co-op campaign, the endgame that Treyarch is hoping will keep players coming back, and how you’ll soon be able to share your weapon kits more easily.
