Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s first new multiplayer mode has leaked

Activision may have announced Call of Duty Black Ops 7 earlier this month, but that teaser was primarily centred around the single-player campaign. Fans of COD multiplayer are still awaiting news about incoming changes. Now thanks to an accidental leak, we know about at least one new mode on the way for Black Ops 7.

As first reported by CharlieIntel, ahead of an internal playtest for Black Ops 7, developers had a ‘Message of the Day' prepared for the playtest build with quick information about a new multiplayer mode. However, the Message of the Day was mistakenly sent out to all Xbox players via the Call of Duty app.

As a result, we now know that the developers are testing a 20v20 Wingsuit game mode for Black Ops 7. This mode will have teams of 20 skirmishing over a large map, all in wingsuits. The mode appears to focus on pure freedom of movement.

While this mode is being tested, there is no guarentee that it will be in the launch-day version of Black Ops 7. The playtest feedback could be horrible but considering how close we are to this year's Call of Duty, chances are, this is a mode being planned for day-one.

KitGuru Says: I always enjoy Call of Duty multiplayer but each year, the focus tends to shift towards Warzone and other free-to-play modes quite quickly. Maybe that will change with Black Ops 7 but I doubt it.
