Campaign Early Release Rumour Heating Up
The upcoming Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is officially scheduled to launch on 14 November 2025 across PlayStation, Xbox and PC platforms. However, recent data leaks suggest that the campaign (and the co-op Zombies mode) might unlock earlier than that as early as 10 November 2025. 

This potential divide in release timing stems from entries in the PlayStation Network database, which list a pre-load date of 9 November and a campaign/Zombies unlock on 10 November, while multiplayer remains scheduled for the 14th (or even 17th in one listing).

What’s Actually Confirmed  Versus What’s Speculation
At this stage, it remains unconfirmed by developer Treyarch or publisher Activision whether an early campaign release is intentional or just a database error. Some outlets point out that the 10 November date “may be a PSN error.”  So for now, treat the early-unlock possibility as a rumour rather than a guarantee.

Why This Matters for Players

• Head-start opportunity: If the campaign and Zombies modes unlock early, players who pre-order or are ready to go might get ahead of the crowd especially useful if the campaign is lengthy or you want to experience it before the multiplayer (and community) fully kicks in.

• Fragmented experience: A staggered rollout (campaign early, multiplayer later) could create disparate player bases and spoil the synchronised release excitement.

• Pre-load benefits: Regardless of unlock timing, the leak confirms a pre-load date of 9 November on PS platforms and a relatively smaller download size compared to the previous Black Ops title. 

• Ambiguity in marketing: Without official confirmation, players may feel uncertain about when to block time for playing or what edition/pre-order perks unlock early.

What to Watch For

• Official announcements from Treyarch/Activision confirming (or denying) a 10 November campaign unlock or early access.

• Pre-load behaviour on your platform (watch for “available to download” notices around 9 November).

• Any further leaks or data miners posting timestamps or server unlock times.

• Whether early access is tied to specific editions (pre-order, “Vault Edition”, etc) or open to all.

• Multiplayer launch behaviour: if it really is delayed to 14 or 17 November, that may impact how the community builds momentum.
