Key Highlights:
- The Zombies game mode for Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is set to receive a rework.
- This brings with it new maps, game modes and weapons.
- Treyarch is also holding a Quad Feed EXP event ahead of time.
Zombies has been an integral part of the Call of Duty experience for quite some time now, and the recently released Black Ops 7 continues that tradition as well. While the Zombies game mode was one of the more fun additions to the game, it was merely a small positive spin on the overall disastrous Black Ops 7.
However, Activision and Treyarch are hard at work, looking to fix some of the issues plaguing the game mode, and offer a fresh coat of paint with its 115 Day celebrations.
Call of Duty Black Ops 7 Zombies Mode Gets Revamped With The Launch of Season 02
Season 02 of Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is here, and it brings with it what is hyped up to be a new era for Call of Duty. Treyarch aims to bring that same level of commitment to the Zombies mode, ahead of 115 Day (slated for January 15, 2026).
The team is preparing newer Survival experiences for players, following its massively high spike in popularity. Additionally, expect there to be a steady supply of newer Survival Maps, Weekly Challenges and fresh game modes to keep players engaged.
As for new content, Season 02 brings with it the Astra Malorum, a round based Zombies temple map that takes place in Mars. Dubbed as the Mars Survival, squads will be directed to complete a series of milestones in exchange for Caltheris inspired rewards.
For weapons, we have the Sturmwolf 45 SMG and Hawker HX Sniper Rifle, which have been added to the box, making its way toward all in-game maps. Each major Reloaded update and Season launch will also bring newer weapons as well.

A new addition to Black Ops 7 Zombies is the Cursed Survival, which is a new, permanent game mode. In a nutshell, players will have to survive against brutal odds, armed with only a pistol and a limited HUD (but with a few Relics) against waves of Zombies, added alongside a Black Ops 3 inspired points based system, which is sure to be a hit.
Cursed Survival will also have a grand total of 4 game maps at launch (Vandorn Farm, Exit 115, Zarya Cosmodrome and Mars), with more content planned for the future.
The Starting Room Zombies mode will also be added to Black Ops 7, and will be permanently incorporated with Season 02. Zombies is also set to receive a new story mode addition with Season 02, although that seems less of a focus.
Finally, we have a bunch of QoL changes, of which the most notable would be fixing Augments not working properly. The Augment system has now been overhauled and revamped to perfection.
To kick off 115 Day, Treyarch is launching a ‘Quad Feed’ for the next five days, which includes the following content:
- 2x GobbleGum Earn Rates
- 2x Level EXP
- 2x Weapon EXP
- 2x Battle Pass EXP
The event is currently live and will end on January 20, 2026.
