Milo Ventimiglia, Kiernan Shipka and Michael Rooker have signed on as voice and motion capture actors for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed.
The game was revealed to be the next in the franchise Sunday during the Xbox Games Showcase.
According to the official logline: “In Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Treyarch and Raven Software are bringing players the most mind-bending Black Ops ever. Developed as the next evolution of Black Ops, this is the first-ever consecutive release within the series, set more than 40 years after the events of Black Ops 6. The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare following the events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6. Wielding cutting-edge technology, David Mason and his team must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponizes fear above all else.”
“The Black Ops universe is amazing,” Call of Duty general manager Matt Cox said in a blog post on the official CoD website. “The creativity and imagination that goes into the storytelling, the rich character depth, and the incredible moment-to-moment gameplay across all modes is really exceptional. As a team, our vision from the start was to create a back-to-back series experience for our players that embraced the uniqueness of the Black Ops sub-franchise.”
According to the post, players will be able to play solo or in a multiplayer experience with new maps.
Ventimiglia will play David Mason, who first appeared in Black Ops 2; Shipka will play Emma Kagan; and Rooker will reprise the role of Mike Harper, also from Black Ops 2.
The game will be released later this year on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5 and PlayStation , and on PC via Xbox PC, Battle.net and Steam. It also will be available to play on day one on Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass.
Tyler Bahl, head of Activision Publishing Marketing, told the CoD site: “The team is looking to build on the incredible community enthusiasm and excitement we’ve seen within the Black Ops universe. This is the first time we’re staying within the Black Ops series with back-to-back releases, so we’re excited to give players a bit more time to enjoy all the live seasons and provide players more of what they want across Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone before we turn the page to Black Ops 7.”
The game is reportedly not impacted by the current SAG-AFTRA strike against video game companies.
