Release Date & Platforms
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Release | November 14, 2025 (Worldwide) |
| Platforms | PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PC |
| Price | $70 / €70 |

Zombies Perks & Pack-a-Punch Costs
Zombies is back with Dark Aether story + classic survival maps. Here's what's confirmed:
| Perk | Location (Beta Build) | Cost (Points) |
|---|---|---|
| Juggernog | Barn – Farm Zone | 3,500 |
| Speed Cola | Diner Rooftop | 3,000 |
| Stamin-Up | Power Station Tunnel | 2,500 |
| Pack-a-Punch | Central Chamber (activate 3 switches: Farm, Diner, Power) | 5,000 |
Pro tip: Always secure Juggernog first—BO7 zombies hit harder at early rounds.
If you're grinding perks and upgrades in Zombies, don't forget that bo7 bot lobbies can make early rounds way smoother—perfect for testing Juggernog routes, Pack-a-Punch timing, and farming points without wasting real matches.
Beta Rewards & Carry Over Items
| Reward / Carry Over | How to Unlock | Transfers to BO7 |
|---|---|---|
| Double XP Tokens | Earned from BO6 events | Yes |
| GobbleGums | Pre-event rewards & BO6 stash | Yes |
| Operator Skins | BO6 cosmetics | ❌ No |
| Weapon Blueprints | BO6 loadouts | ❌ No |
Translation: Grind XP tokens in BO6 now, ignore flashy skins—they won't follow you.
Multiplayer & Skirmish Unlocks
During the October Beta, here's the planned weapon/progression unlocks:
| Level | Unlock |
|---|---|
| Level 4 | Custom Loadouts |
| Level 10 | Skirmish Mode Access |
| Level 15 | First Killstreak (UAV Drone) |
| Level 20 | AR Unlock (M8A7 – fan favorite) |
| Level 25 | Tactical Perk: Ghost |
| Level 30 | LMG Class Weapon |
Beta caps progression around Level 30. Don't stress maxing it—focus on learning maps.
Prep Checklist Before Launch
- Clear storage (150GB+). COD installs are massive.
- Preorder if you want early beta (Oct 2).
- Grind XP tokens in BO6 now. They carry over.
- Learn maps early in beta. Saves you from first-week stomps.
- Stay flexible. Treyarch usually tweaks guns and modes in the first 2–3 weeks.
Recap
- Launch Date: Nov 14, 2025
- Beta: Oct 2 (early), Oct 5–8 (open)
- Game Pillars: Campaign, Endgame, Zombies, Dead Ops, Multiplayer, Skirmish, Warzone
- Carry Over: Only Double XP tokens & GobbleGums
- Zombies Key Costs: Juggernog (3,500), Pack-a-Punch (5,000)
