Activision has announced a new perk to help encourage people to play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 at release. The company is giving everyone five hours of double XP for player progression and five hours of double XP for weapons if they play Black Ops 7 before Season 1. Activision has not announced when Black Ops 7 Season 1 will begin, but it's expected in early December. For comparison, 2024's Black Ops 6 launched on October 25, with its first season arriving on November 14, which was a period of about three weeks.
"Right, so, looking at the comments, I'm seeing people ask every so often about the third entry in the [ FF7] Remake series," said Nomura. "Apparently, [ FF7 co-director Motomu] Toriyama mentioned in an interview that something might be released around the second anniversary [of Ever Crisis]. So that's probably where those expectations are coming from. Right, so things are progressing really smoothly. I can't really say more-if I suddenly went, 'Well, actually...,' everyone would be really surprised!"
