The shooter rivalry is reigniting this fall as Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 prepares to go head-to-head with Battlefield 6, the first mainline Battlefield entry in years. Despite Electronic Arts’ high expectations for its October 10 release, Activision management isn’t worried, confident that Call of Duty’s brand strength will keep it on top.

🎯 A Confident Activision

Sources claim the next four years of Call of Duty releases are already mapped out, with Black Ops 7 described internally as a “strong” entry despite early development hurdles. Activision reportedly believes Battlefield’s return won’t threaten CoD’s dominance in the FPS market.

⏳ Weeks Apart

  • Battlefield 6 – October 10, 2025

  • Black Ops 7 – Expected late October or early November
    The proximity makes this a direct showdown, especially with both set in the near future, promising a thematic and stylistic clash.
