Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 may just be the strongest entry of the modern-era Call of Duty games, taking players into the near future with a rather weak Campaign, but stellar Multiplayer and round-based Zombies. With revamped Omnimovement, a roster of futuristic weapons, and Zombies taking players into the Dark Aether, there is a lot to get into.

With Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 being a premium title in the Call of Duty franchise, many players may be on the fence about jumping in. However, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 follows the trend of recent entries by offering a free trial period, allowing players to try the game out completely for free. Here is when to expect the next Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 free trial.
