Black Ops 7 Game Mode Details May Have Been Accidentally Leaked

Details about new multiplayer modes for the upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 may have been inadvertently leaked. One of the companies involved in development on Black Ops 7 accidentally posted information about a developer-only playtest in the Xbox Call of Duty app, potentially giving a glimpse at what players can expect from the next Call of Duty title.

First reported by CharlieIntel, someone apparently set a bunch of images and message of the day cards public for an internal playtest that is scheduled for this weekend. This revealed a number of in-progress multiplayer modes that were apparently meant to be part of the test.

One of these, Skirmish, involves 20v20 battles that seems to feature wingsuit flight as a key component of gameplay. The mode's description reads: "Two teams of 20 fight to compete objectives across a large map. Capture points of interest, destroy payloads, and transmit valuable data to score. Use your wingsuit to flank and reach objectives before your enemy. The first team to reach the score limit wins."

The leaked details also revealed a game mode called Overload, which seems to be similar to Halo's old Neutral Assault game mode. Two teams fight over an EMP device and attempt to escort it to the opposing team's base for detonation.

Black Ops 7 is in development at Treyarch and Raven Software, and it was announced earlier this month at Summer Game Fest. Its reveal came as a bit of a surprise to many Call of Duty fans, as it marks the first time that the Black Ops series has had consecutive releases.
