Resurgence had first made its debut in 2020 with Call of Duty Black Ops: Cold War.

What We Know About Black Ops 7
The latest instalment in the blockbuster Call of Duty franchise – Black Ops 7, is all set for its release on November 14th. Set in the year 2035, the game has a much human vs modern tech theme underlying in the trailer. Here’s a quick look at it.
The game is available to pre-order for both Xbox, and PlayStation platforms, offering a free “Reznov Challenge Pack” bundled for ones who avail it. The antagonist in the game is Raul Menendez, a Nicaraguan drug lord and leader of the terrorist organization Cordis Die. While not much can be said on how he is back in the series from the trailer, a likely guess is via an AI system or an illusion.
Beyond the trailer, not much is known about the plot of the campaign, except that David Mason and The Guild will make their return in the upcoming title.
Black Ops 7 also promises to feature the largest Zombie Maps Ever in the series. The game will also reintroduce round-based zombies. The game will take off from the ending of Black Ops 6 Zombies, where the Dark aether had taken Weaver, Maya, Carver, and Grey, and now players will have to gear up to face alternate versions of Richtofen, Dempsey, Nikolai, and Takeo in some capacity.
Players could also check out the Dead Ops Arcade 4 mode which are packed with power-ups, traps, and waves of enemies, letting one play with up to four friends. The game will also see Global Progression feature for the first time in the series, which means players can now gain XP across Zombies, Campaigns, Multiplayer and Warzone (Season 1).
