Activision has announced Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 3 will begin on April 2nd, and will bring new multiplayer maps, new game modes, additions to Endgame, more Warzone content, new game modes, and more.
You can find a fully detailed list of everything included in Season 3 over at the official Call of Duty Blog, but for a quick overview, here is every new map and major piece of content coming to the game.
Black Ops 7 Season 3 Maps:
Beacon (Launch)
Brand-New, 6v6, Medium-Sized
Deploy to the frozen terrain of Beacon, a remote Guild facility blanketed in snow. A destroyed helicopter lies in flaming ruins just outside the map’s border and crates labeled with “Skyveil Array” fill the entrance, offering substantial cover while moving toward the facility.
Inside, hunt down targets within the Housing unit, Monitoring Station, and Storage shed. Watch out for enemies positioned around the central Bridge and take long shots across the distant Tundra. This mid-sized map combines a variety of sightlines, so there’s no wrong approach. Bundle up, head out, and keep warm with aggressive tactics to overwhelm the enemy forces.
Abyss (Launch)
Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Small-Sized
From the Engine to the Torpedo Bay, battle through the confined quarters of a submarine, trading shots along narrow corridors with just enough room to outmaneuver your opponents. Keep a keen eye out for rope Ascenders placed throughout the sub, giving access to the Forward and Aft Decks up top to push for the flank... but be mindful of players at the top of the Sail who have views of the upper decks.
In the interior time your movements through tight spaces while seeking out vantage points throughout, such as the upper walkway in the Forward and Aft Silos. When on the same level as your opponent, dodge and weave amongst the boat’s various obstacles to outmaneuver your foe using any means possible.
Plaza (Launch)
Remaster, 6v6, Medium-Sized
First introduced in Black Ops 2, Plaza has been beautifully remastered for the first time since 2012. With the addition of Wall Jumping and Black Ops 7’s unique arsenal, this is Plaza like you’ve never experienced before.
Battle across the outer Mall and through the Concourse as fireworks burst in the night sky. In the center, engage in fierce fights over the iconic stairwell, rising to an upper platform on both sides, grenades flying as Operators seek to damage enemies on the other side. Explore the luxurious interior locations of the Colossus Resort, including the popular Luna Nightclub alongside high-end shops, the extravagant Red Bar, and other staples of the rich life at sea.
Gridlock (Launch)
Remaster, 6v6, Medium-Sized
Traffic grinds to a halt in the remastered Gridlock, first introduced in Black Ops 4. An explosive heist has left the freeway in shambles over a Japanese city. Battle among overturned vehicles and through the rubble, the remnants of the attack flown across the various shops and Promenade.
Fight through the Garden and Terrace bookending the bath house, or take to the long sightlines down the Street, a delivery truck on either end providing excellent views all around. For a more covered view, head into the Restaurant, offering killer vantage points from multiple angles.
Mission: Trident (Launch)
Brand-New Skirmish Map, 20v20
Season 03 continues to up the map offering in the 20v20 Skirmish mode with Mission: Trident. The Old Arsenal Avalon point of interest is the latest area of operations, with patrol boats assisting in navigating the waterways and shoreline through harbor warehouses and numerous medieval fortifications.
Seek the helipad on the high ground atop a section of an old cruise liner, with a surprisingly opulent interior. Then watch for rooftop snipers across the long sightlines, ramped bridges, and other thoroughfares.
Onsen (Mid-Season)
Brand-New, 6v6/2v2, Small-Sized
Head out to the Japanese hot springs in Onsen, but don’t get too relaxed. This spa offers a number of places to cool down, though the central steam bath is where the action is likely to heat up, especially as it offers the perfect cover for incoming attacks.
Weave past the oni statue on your way to set up heightened cover positions along the main structure, with outbuildings either side of the steam bath.
Summit (Mid-Season)
Remastered, 6v6, Medium-Sized
Summit makes its triumphant return in Black Ops 7! First seen in the original Black Ops, this classic mid-sized map brings Operators to a research facility perched high on the snowy mountains. Wall Jump through tight interior labs, catwalks, and a central control room surrounded by exterior routes and a dangerous cliffside.
Its balanced three-lane layout supports fast engagements, flanking paths, and vertical sightlines, now explorable through the updated Black Ops 7 movement system.
Hacienda (Mid-Season)
Returning, 6v6, Medium-Sized
The luxurious vineyard estate returns from Black Ops 6, now with additional maneuvering points via Wall Jumps. Battle through the grand central villa, weave between vineyard paths, and push through the garage and courtyard as firefights erupt across the property.
With a classic three-lane layout blending tight interior fights and open exterior sightlines, Hacienda delivers fast, tactical engagements in one of the most stylish battlegrounds in the Black Ops series.
Ascent (Mid-Season)
New Special Map, Freerun Mode
This brand-new special map has been created specifically for the Freerun mode. A bespoke obstacle map with vertigo-inducing jumps and little room for error, you’ll need all your dexterity to survive the lengthy ascension to the top of this map!
Test your movement mastery across ten zones within this map, with only your sure footing to help you. Expect more info on this exciting new mode in the Mid-Season update.
