When Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 arrives, it will come with 16 maps, consisting of completely new content and classic areas from previous ones Black ops securities. Of course, we have confirmation that Nuketown, one of the oldest maps in the world, Black ops subseries, returns in the new entry.
There is, however, a catch. Nuketown will not be available at launch in Black Ops 7. Instead, you’ll have to wait a bit to experience it as the preseason kicks off.
Nuketown will arrive shortly after launch
With the start of the pre-season
After his original debut in the first Black ops Entering in 2010, Nuketown has become a staple map in Treyarch’s contributions to the Call of Duty series. Set in Nevada, the map features a simple, near-mirror approach, with two large suburban homes and a central point marked by larger vehicles.
The map’s smaller scale makes it an action-packed setting for quick firefights, and the layout is conducive to various game modes. It’s polarizing, mainly because some players think it’s a bit outdated after 15 years with few changes, but it’s so popular that it’s almost always a “24/7” playlist.
Although Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 officially launched on November 14, Nuketown will not arrive with it. Instead, Activision confirmed to ScreenRant that Nuketown will indeed arrive on November 20 in Black Ops 7shortly after the game’s launch. This date coincides with the launch of the pre-season, which will lead into a true multiplayer Season 1.

While it can be ignored most of the time, some specific events and playlists in the past have been tied to the card, funneling players into its clutches release after release.
