The Call of Duty community is on fire after insider images leaked from the Xbox Call of Duty companion app, accidentally revealing key details about upcoming batch of Black Ops game modes.
The leaked content shows what could be the boldest evolution in the franchise’s history. Fans will get introduced to large-scale combat, revamped objective modes, classic Zombies content, and open-world campaign innovations.
Black Ops Game Modes Leak Have ‘Skirmish’
One of the most explosive reveals is a new multiplayer mode called Skirmish, reportedly featuring 20 versus 20 combat on sprawling battlegrounds. According to the leaked screenshots, players will be able to deploy wingsuits to soar over terrain and execute tactical flanks. Objectives appear to involve capturing zones, destroying key targets, and hacking terminals, all culminating in a high-stakes, score-limited victory condition.
This mode appears to merge the scale of Ground War with the frenetic energy of Domination. Fans on Reddit’s r/GamingLeaksAndRumours have confirmed the leak, with some applauding the ambition, while others questioned map balance and pacing in a 40-player setting.
Overload Mode Introduces Tactical EMP Chaos
Another leaked internal card introduces Overload, a 6v6 mode built around neutral-objective gameplay. Teams compete to control and deliver an EMP device to the opposing team’s headquarters. Victory will require surgical coordination, tight defense, and perfectly timed plays.
Many fans instantly compared Overload to Halo’s classic Neutral Bomb mode, raising hopes for a mode that rewards both strategy and aggression. The gameplay leak hints at high replay value if map design and respawn systems hold up under pressure.
Classic Zombies Return and Co-op Campaign Gets Ambitious
Beyond the competitive modes, leaks also point to the return of fan-favorite Zombies maps like TranZit and Mob of the Dead, fully reimagined with upgraded visuals and modern mechanics. This has fueled major nostalgia within the Zombies community.
Equally exciting is a co-op campaign set in the year 2035, centered around David Mason and his squad navigating open-world missions across zones like Avalon. Reports suggest a movement overhaul dubbed Omni movement will be included, bringing fluid traversal without returning to Black Ops 3’s wall-running.
The Future of Black Ops Game Modes Looks Bold and Risky
If these leaks hold true, Black Ops 7 could mark a new chapter for Call of Duty. With massive new modes like Skirmish, classic Zombies content, and open-world campaign mechanics, fans might just get what their hearts wanted.
