The highly anticipated second season of Call of Duty Black Ops 7 is poised to launch imminently, with gamers across all platforms counting down the hours until they can dive into a substantial content update. This major seasonal release promises to refresh the multiplayer experience with new maps, weapons, and modes, while also expanding the Endgame and Zombies offerings.
Global Launch Schedule for Black Ops 7 Season 2
Activision has confirmed that Season 2 will debut simultaneously worldwide, ensuring no region gains early access. The official release is scheduled for 5pm GMT on February 5, 2026. For players in other time zones, the launch translates to:
- 4am AEDT (February 6)
- 9pm GST
- 6pm CET
- 12pm EST
- 9am PST
Before jumping into the action, players must download the significant update. PC users on Battle.net can already pre-load the patch, which weighs approximately 41GB. However, those on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S will need to wait until the 5pm GMT launch to begin downloading. With the update expected to be around 40GB on these platforms, it's advisable to factor in download time when planning gaming sessions.

New Multiplayer Modes and Features

Zombies and Endgame Updates
