The upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is expected to feature graphic hallucination scenes, as revealed by an official ESRB rating. While specific details on the release date and gameplay are still pending, new insights have emerged following the game’s age classification. After a chaotic year for the Call of Duty franchise—including alleged hacking issues and community backlash regarding in-game purchases and unrealistic character appearances in Black Ops 6—developers Treyarch Studios and Raven Software are determined to refresh the series with Black Ops 7, reportedly set to be released in November. Fans have reason to anticipate new information from the ESRB rating, which suggests the game will include brutal hallucination episodes characterized by dismemberment and decapitation—adding to the series’ notorious reputation for intense combat.

M Rating Confirmed

The ESRB’s M (Mature) rating for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 comes just before the official announcement, which is scheduled for August 19 during Gamescom Opening Night Live. This confirmation follows an extensive period of speculation about the game’s features, including hints about a timeline set in 2035 and character reprises, such as David Mason and Raul Menendez. While leaks suggest that the game will conform to its standard launch schedule, anticipated for November 14, fans eagerly await verification from the creators.
