Activision has released the Season 5 roadmap for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone. The season launches on July 23 and spans all four modes: Multiplayer, Zombies, Warzone, and Endgame. Across the full season, it adds five multiplayer maps, four new weapons, a new Warzone location, and the conclusion of the Black Ops 7 Zombies storyline.
A new Battle Pass, BlackCell, Ranked Play, and the usual weekly challenges and cosmetics round out the update. The timing matters because Modern Warfare 4 launches October 23, which places Black Ops 7 in the later stage of its content cycle. Here is what the roadmap confirms across each mode.
Black Ops 7 Multiplayer Gets Five Maps and New Modes
Season 05 opens with three multiplayer maps. Jubilee is a new 6v6 map. Dig and Frequency both arrive as remasters. Frequency is the returning classic Treyarch had teased during Season 3. Two limited-time modes launch alongside them, Overdrive Domination and Gauntlet Rush. Multiplayer Ranked Play returns with new seasonal rewards.
The fight gets bigger in Black Ops 7 Multiplayer.

Players will get access to two more maps arriving mid-season. Moreover, Turbo Tilt is added to the rotation, along with the Cranked Moshpit LTM and Freerun: Descent. That brings the season total to five multiplayer maps altogether.
Black Ops 7 Season 5 To Finally Feature The Zombies Finale Against Warden
The Zombies content is split across the season. It opens with the Eidskallen Lighthouse Survival map. Directed Mode and a Starting Room are added for Kowakujล, and Astra Malorum comes to Rogue Run with Relics and new playlists.
The mid-season update closes the story. The Black Ops 7 Zombies narrative concludes against the Warden in a map called Rex Infernus. This finale follows the arc established across earlier maps, in which the squad reclaims its crew, frees the Shadowsmiths, and cleanses the world seed.
One point of community interest sits alongside the finale. Players have anticipated the return of Widow’s Wine, a perk from Black Ops 3 that has been referenced in leaks for over a year. The roadmap does not confirm it. Because Modern Warfare 4 does not include a Zombies mode, this finale is widely viewed as its last opportunity to appear in the current cycle. Whether Treyarch includes it is unconfirmed.
Warzone Gets Drone Labs POI Added Into Verdansk with New Weapons & Endgame Update
Warzone’s headline addition is the Drone Labs POI in Verdansk. The location includes Juggernaut Armor to fight over and Supply Drones that can be shot down for loot.
Two limited-time modes are on the schedule. Lockdown Casual arrives at launch, and Heavy Metal Heroes comes in-season. Ranked Play Resurgence returns across Rebirth Island, Fortune’s Keep, and Haven’s Hollow.
Four weapons are added over the season: the FG42 assault rifle, the Gremlin SMG, the Mammoth LMG, and the Mace melee weapon, each with new attachments.
That's just the start. Thereโs even more coming in Season 05:

Endgame receives a new Burn Run Assignment and additional Ability Boosts, continuing the mode’s role as a longer-term progression track. The season also includes a new Battle Pass, the next BlackCell, and standard events, challenges, and camos.
The Season 05 update covers every mode, with the Zombies story finale as the most crucial element in it. With Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 scheduled for October 23, this is one of the last major drops of the Black Ops 7 cycle. While it is confirmed that the Zombies storyline comes to an end, it is unclear weather Season 05 is the game’s final season, and a further season before MW4 might just be possible.
