Sunday was Microsoft Xbox game showcasewhere he revealed his next portable laptop, the Rog Xbox allyAnd a multitude of games to come. The show ended with the first overview of the next Call of Duty title, Black Ops 7.

The Black Ops 7 trailer was short, showing a futuristic setting with robots and holographic screens. David Mason, played by Milo Ventimiglia, is presented throughout the trailer, which quickly moves to a strange landscape – tied with the Black Ops series, where the hallucinations caused by military weapons and torture are common themes.

The game follows the events of Black Ops 2 in 2012where Mason was presented as a character, and 2024’s black ops 6. While other Call of Duty games tend to focus on certain times of war, such as the Second World War and the War in Iraq, the Black Ops series focuses on secret missions generally waged by the United States and vary from the era of the Cold War to more modern and even futuristic times. Black Ops 2 took place in 2025, while Black Ops 6 was set in 1991.

All the Black Ops games have certain script links with the return characters and the antagonists. In the trailer, David says “Menendez”, who is probably Raul Menendez, the villain of Black Ops 2. In this game, he was a Nicaraguan drug lord and the leader of the Terrorist group Cordis Die. At the end of the game, the players finally decided to save him or kill Menendez, which raises the question of whether Mendez is alive or if it is a hallucination of David.
