The launch of Black Ops 7 has barely settled, yet the community is already buzzing with a wave of newly surfaced leaks, rumors, and datamined content. Several reputable leakers, including RealityUK, CharlieIntel, and TheGhostofHope, have shared details suggesting major updates may be coming sooner than expected.
While none of this is officially confirmed until Treyarch or Activision speaks publicly, historically, datamined content almost always ends up appearing in-game. Here’s a full breakdown of everything we know so far.

A New Multiplayer Event: “The Proving Grounds”
According to RealityUK, Black Ops 7 will soon introduce a new competitive multiplayer leaderboard event known as The Proving Grounds.
Event Details
- Dates: November 25 – December 1 (subject to change)
- Concept: Score-based leaderboard competition
- Rewards: Placement rewards, challenge unlocks, and extra XP
This seems like Treyarch’s push toward more seasonal competitive events, giving players additional progression paths outside regular playlists.
Fan-Favorite Maps: Plaza, Vertigo & Arsenal Reportedly Returning
One of the most exciting parts of the leak involves classic map remasters making a comeback.
Plaza (BO2 Remaster)
First seen in Black Ops 2, Plaza was iconic for its neon-lit club area and tight rush routes. RealityUK claims it’s officially in the works.
Vertigo (BO2 Remaster)
Another BO2 favorite, Vertigo’s verticality and futuristic design made it stand out. This map is also listed as returning in a future update.
Arsenal (BO4 Map Tease)
TheGhostofHope teased an image from Arsenal (BO4) with a “wink” emoji—strongly suggesting the map is returning. This makes sense given Black Ops 7’s architecture, door mechanics, and environmental design, which already resemble Arsenal’s layout. If all three drop in upcoming seasons, BO7 will quickly build one of the strongest map pools in the series.
Season 1 Collaboration: Fallout x Black Ops 7
CharlieIntel reports that Black Ops 7 will receive a Fallout collaboration during Season 1.We’ve seen a lighter Fallout collab before in MW3, but with a new Fallout season releasing soon, Treyarch may aim for a deeper crossover this time. Unlike outlandish collabs of the past (Beavis & Butthead, Snoop Dogg, etc.), Fallout fits COD’s survivalist, war-torn aesthetic, making it feel more natural. Expect operator skins, themed cosmetics, and possibly a limited-time mode.
Over a Dozen New Weapons Leaked
RealityUK uncovered a large list of unreleased weapon code names, many likely planned for Season 1 or Season 2.
Leaked Weapon Categories
Rifles
- Egret
- Heron
- McCaw
Marksman
- Solomon
LMG
- Typhoon
Melee
- SYF
- Ballistic Knife (confirmed return)
- Assault Shield
Shotgun
- Shepherd
Special Weapons
- Crossbow (returning)
- Nimbus (unknown type)
SMGs
- Bangle
- Gecko
- Hyena
Sniper
- Aiden/Odin
While some names are obvious—like the Ballistic Knife—others remain heavily coded. But the sheer number of weapons suggests a big seasonal armory expansion.
New Operators Incoming: Floral Code Names Revealed
Datamined files also mention upcoming Operators with flower-based code names:
- Iris
- Peony
- Sunflower
- Tulip
- Voss
- Yellow
- Multiple CDL-themed operators (likely for Season 2)
These names are temporary placeholders, but they confirm that fresh Operators will drop with every season as usual.
Massive Content Ahead for Black Ops 7
For a game that just launched, these leaks suggest Treyarch has already prepared a large content roadmap. With remastered maps, a Fallout collab, new weapons, new Operators, and leaderboard events, Season 1 is shaping up to be one of the biggest COD seasonal launches in recent years.
If even half of these leaks come true, players can expect:
- A much larger map selection
- More meaningful seasonal progression
- A richer multiplayer ecosystem
- Several nostalgic returns for longtime fans
As the game files update closer to Season 1, expect even more leaks to drop.
Black Ops 7 is only getting started, and early signs point toward a content-packed year. While we wait for official announcements, these leaks offer a thrilling preview of what could be one of the most dynamic seasons in Call of Duty history.
