Black Ops 7 Team Cancels Numerous Collaborations Following Criticisms

Black Ops 7 Abandons Major Brand Deals for Serious Military Aesthetic Alignment

Activision and Treyarch are developing Black Ops 7, the next Call of Duty installment, with a primary goal of re-establishing the serious military aesthetic that initially defined the series. This strategic direction follows fan feedback regarding recent brand partnerships, such as those featuring TMNT and Tomb Raider. Many players felt these did not align with Call of Duty’s core identity. Yale Miller from Treyarch confirmed to CharlieIntel that the team’s focus is on ensuring cosmetics are thematically consistent with Black Ops 7, leading them to decline major brand deals. While the developers are not aiming for absolute realism in every aspect, they intend for the game to consistently maintain the signature Call of Duty style, even within its more fantastical zombie modes.
