Just when you thought Call of duty I could not extract more from your wallet, here is a new leak with great monetization energy. According to Theghostofhope (a fairly reliable leak at this stage), the next Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Maybe do something fat and fat, we mean irritating.
Apparently, certain limited time modes (LTM) Black ops 7 It will only be playable if you have the Battle pass. Yes, we are talking about modes that were free in the previous titles of Call of Duty now hidden behind a seasonal payment wall. If this leak is maintained, the definition of activation of “content” now includes the additional load for temporary game functionalities.
They are no longer just skins
These are not disposable modes either. THE The report says these LTMs are called “greater value” – offering unique rewards, mechanisms and twists and turns. In other words, exactly the kind of thing that would make players excited … Only now it could cost you more than your time.
And if that was not enough, premium cosmetics – such as crossroads and high -level skins – would also be linked to Combat pass. Forget the old premium event track system; It is a complete pivot in the closed seasonal content. Welcome to the new normal.
The monetization wars continue
None of this is yet confirmed, but let's be honest – it would not be the most Surprising Move Activision made. The franchise is already a fortune on skins and packages. Add access to gameplay mode to the equation? It's just … Synergy (companies talk because we do what we want).
Black ops 7 East Always supported For a release from the end of 2025, and it should be a cross-gen (yes, this means that your old console can always suffer). But if this leak is legitimate, the conversation around the monetization of Call of Duty is about to become much stronger – and not in the right direction.
Final reflections
The idea of ​​paid walls is like a step too far, even for a franchise that has practically built a second house in the history of your credit card. If you already drop $ 70 and more on the basic game, tell you that you will need a combat pass just to access the complete content of the gameplay could be the last straw for some fans.
