Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Season 3 Launches With New Maps, Weapons and a Revamped Battle Pass

The release centers on a three-tier pass with a high-priced BlackCell option to deepen engagement.

Overview

  • The new season begins rolling out Thursday, April 2, as a global update, though outlets cite different start times and preloads run about 30–40 GB.
  • The Battle Pass returns with free and paid tracks plus a $29.99 BlackCell upgrade that adds exclusive skins, a new Camo Challenge Track, and 1,100 COD Points if you upgrade after buying the standard pass.
  • Day one adds the Javelin operator and two free weapons—MK35 ISR assault rifle and VST SMG—unlocked in the pass, with more arms arriving through an event and a weekly challenge.
  • Multiplayer gets five maps at launch—Beacon, Abyss, Plaza, Gridlock, and the 20v20 Mission: Trident—along with Demolition at launch and more modes slated in-season.
  • Ranked Play has no date yet as more maps and modes are planned for mid-season, and Warzone’s Verdansk plus Zombies are set to gain new events and content across the season.
