Treyarch has highlighted two of its Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 multiplayer maps set in Japan during today’s incredibly dry Xbox Game Showcase during Tokyo Game Show.
The two maps – Toshin and Den – are two of the 18 multiplayer maps available at launch. These two highlighted maps will be playable in the Black Ops 7 open beta, which kicks off on 2nd October.
The first map highlighted was Toshin, which is set within a Japanese city. Split into two distinct districts, players can fight through the tight alleys of Old Town or the tech-heavy main streets. There’s a broken down monorail, and even a cat cafe present here, though thankfully no actual cats to distract from tense firefights from what we can see.
Next up comes Den, a Japanese castle heavily converted with high tech equipment spread throughout its interior. Players can either head inside for close-quarters fights inside tight hallways and pristine throne room, or take the fight outside across tiled rooftops for more open clashes.
Earlier this week, a lengthy blog post dove into multiplayer details ahead of the open beta. This beta will feature a new game mode called Overload, in which two teams have to fight over a special overload device and drop it inside each other’s zones to score points.
Black Ops 7 has been set up as the “most mind-bending Black Ops ever”, leaning on the more psychological aspects of the series for this latest instalment. Still, with Battlefield 6 turning heads and gaining a lot of positive attention, there’s a lot of pressure for the upcoming Call of Duty to do well now it’s got some sturdy competition.
