Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies Beta Announced

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 fans will get their first hands-on experience with the highly anticipated Zombies mode ahead of launch, thanks to a two-stage open beta. The announcement came on September 24, alongside a brand-new trailer showcasing gameplay from this year’s rendition of the franchise’s most iconic co-op mode.

📅 Black Ops 7 Zombies Beta Schedule

The beta will be divided into two phases, with both offering players several days of access:

• Early Access Beta: Thursday, October 2 at 10 AM PT/ 1 PM ET/ 7 PM CET – runs for 72 hours.
• Open Beta: Sunday, October 5 at 10 AM PT/ 1 PM ET/ 7 PM CET – ends Wednesday, October 8 at the same time.

🔑 Note: Early access is exclusive to players who pre-order Black Ops 7.

🎟️ How to Access the Beta

Players who pre-purchase either edition of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 can join the Zombies beta for up to six consecutive days. The process differs slightly depending on the version:

• Digital pre-orders – automatically enrolled through PlayStation, Xbox, or Battle.net.
• Physical pre-orders – buyers should receive a beta code at checkout from participating retailers. Activision clarified that this only applies to select locations, so customers are encouraged to confirm availability before purchasing.

🧟 What the Trailer Revealed

The new trailer offers the first real glimpse at Black Ops 7 Zombies, teasing chaotic firefights, eerie environments, and familiar undead hordes reimagined for Treyarch’s latest entry. Activision noted this is likely the only preview before the full reveal during Call of Duty: Next on September 30. That event will cover all major aspects of the 2025 title, from campaign details to multiplayer and beyond.

🚀 Black Ops 7 Release Date

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is set to launch worldwide on November 14, 2025. With the Zombies beta rolling out in October, fans won’t have long to wait before stepping into the undead battleground.
