Developers Treyarch and Raven Software introduced novelty unlockable skins that divided the Black Ops 6 audience. Celebrity and cartoon crossover skins like Ninja Turtles, American Dad, Beavis and Butthead, and Seth Rogan drew vocal backlash. The development teams confirmed that Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon cosmetics will not carry forward into Black Ops 7. Progression items such as double XP coins and GobbleGums will transfer between titles. The reversal undoes a recent Gamescom confirmation that skins would carry over and represents a U-turn from an unusually consumer-friendly policy. Teams state Black Ops 7 items will be crafted to fit a more authentic, immersive identity and will provide further details before launch.
"As great an impression as Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 left at launch, it's clear that developers Treyarch and Raven Software divided its audience by introducing goofy unlockable skins. From Ninja Turtles and American Dad, to Beavis and Butthead and Seth Rogan in a pastel plaid suit, the game has become barely recognizable compared to prior entries, and it's clear some fans aren't happy about it."
" Black Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting. That is why Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon content will not carry forward to Black Ops 7," the devteam wrote in a Community Update. "In Black Ops 7, bundles and items will be crafted to fit the Black Ops identity. We hear the feedback. We need to deliver a better balance toward the immersive, core Call of Duty experience."
