Surely I wasn't the only one caught off guard that this trailer featuring Milo Ventimiglia, a cybernetic butterfly and a tentacly upside-down hell world turned out to be the announcement of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7,

Closing out the Xbox Games Showcase this year was a sneak peek at the next game in the Call of Duty franchise. Perhaps surprisingly, the next Call of Duty game will be Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. The game will star Milo Ventimiglia (Heroes or This Is Us if you’re my mum and reading this) as David Mason.

The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by conflict and psychological warfare following the narrative events of Black Ops 2 and Black Ops 6. With cutting-edge technology in hand, the Black Ops team led by David Mason must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponizes fear above all else.
