Black Ops 7 Reveal Headlines Gaming News Roundup

Call of Duty fans are marking September 30, 2025, on their calendars. Activision has confirmed that Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will receive its first in-depth showcase on that date, focusing on multiplayer and zombies. While pre-order figures on PlayStation platforms suggest some hesitation among buyers, community anticipation remains high, especially around the return of the franchise’s fan-favorite zombies mode. The reveal is expected to play a pivotal role in shaping expectations ahead of the November 14 release.

Elsewhere, the legendary voice of Solid Snake is making headlines. David Hayter, who voiced the character in the original Metal Gear Solid series, has said he would be eager to reprise the role should Konami move forward with a revival. His comments have fueled renewed speculation about the future of the stealth-action franchise, highlighting just how influential iconic voice actors remain within gaming culture.

Meanwhile, Ubisoft is working to keep its live-service shooter relevant. The publisher has brought back The Division’s original creative director to oversee 'Survivors,' a new extraction-based survival experience within The Division 2. The move suggests Ubisoft is committed to extending the life of its looter-shooter by adding fresh content tailored to player demand.

With Call of Duty preparing its biggest reveal of the year, Metal Gear Solid nostalgia resurfacing, and Ubisoft refreshing one of its ongoing franchises, the industry’s upcoming slate promises both familiar favorites and new experiments designed to keep players engaged.
