List of all Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 cast members announced by Treyarch in Xbox Games Showcase 2025
Image via Treyarch T he Xbox Games Showcase was totally unexpected and electrifying, with so many announcements and reveals. One such surprise reveal nobody saw coming was Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Treyarch just dropped the official teaser and the cast for the game, and it looks awesome! Set decades after its predecessor, Black Ops 7 is shaping up to be a bold leap forward, with a co-op campaign, a darker tone, and a cast that's already turning heads. Let's break down the confirmed voice actors behind the characters and why fans are already hyped. Returning Cast Members in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7? First up, Treyarch and Raven Software are pulling no punches by bringing back fan-favorite characters from Black Ops 2. These are faces players haven't seen in over a decade, and they're being voiced by some seriously seasoned talent. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 | Official Teaser 1. David 'Section' Mason – Voiced by Milo Ventimiglia Yes, David Mason is back. And this time, he's voiced by none other than Milo Ventimiglia. Known for his emotionally charged roles in This Is Us and Heroes, Ventimiglia steps into Section's boots with the gravitas needed for a character who's now a seasoned operative in 2035. Expect a more mature, battle-worn version of Mason, likely central to the story's moral dilemmas. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo 2. Mike Harper – Voiced by Michael Rooker Another familiar face returns: Mike Harper. If you played Black Ops 2, you know he brought heart and grit to the story. Michael Rooker (Yondu in Guardians of the Galaxy, Merle Dixon in The Walking Dead) is the perfect fit for Harper's rugged charm. His voice alone carries the edge of someone who's seen too much—and that's exactly the energy Black Ops 7 is tapping into. A New Crew Member cum Character Enters the Fight While nostalgia plays a big role this time around, the game isn't relying solely on old characters. There's a fresh addition to the lineup—and she's already piquing fan interest. But who is she? kiernan shipka as Emma Kagan in the game CALL OF DUTY: BLACK OPS 7 Emma Kagan – Voiced by Kiernan Shipka Kiernan Shipka (Mad Men, Chilling Adventures of Sabrina) voices newcomer Emma Kagan, a character shrouded in mystery for now. Not much is known about her role, but given Shipka's range—balancing vulnerability and fierce independence—expect Emma to be more than just a supporting figure. She might just be the moral compass or wildcard the story needs. What Else We Know (For Now) Black Ops 7 is set in the year 2035, more than 40 years after the events of Black Ops 6. That time jump opens the door for evolved tech, deeper narrative layers, and a global crisis brewing in the shadows. Also, this will be the first Black Ops title with a full co-op campaign—so squad up. That's the full confirmed cast of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 so far. With Ventimiglia, Rooker, and Shipka on board, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is aiming high, not just with gameplay, but storytelling too.

‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' to Star Milo Ventimiglia, Kiernan Shipka and Michael Rooker; New Game Follows David Mason in Year 2035 (EXCLUSIVE)
Microsoft's Activision is shaking up its long-running 'Call of Duty' franchise with a break from tradition and some A-list stars. At the conclusion of Xbox Games Showcase 2025 on Sunday, 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' was unveiled as the next planned 'CoD' game from Treyarch and Raven Software. With the debut of 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 6' just last fall, this marks the first time ever that two 'Black Ops' installments have been released back to back in the life cycle of the 'Call of Duty' franchise. More from Variety Xbox Ally Handheld Console to Launch This Year From Microsoft 'Deadpool' VR Game Starring Neil Patrick Harris Set From Meta Quest, Marvel New 'Game of Thrones' PC Strategy Game 'War for Westeros' to Launch in 2026 Variety has learned that 'Black Ops 7,' which is set in 2035, more than four decades after the events of 'Black Ops 6,' will star Milo Ventimiglia, Kiernan Shipka and 'CoD' alum Michael Rooker as voice and its motion capture actors. Ventimiglia will play David Mason, a protagonist previously introduced in 'Black Ops 2,' while Shipka has been cast as Emma Kagen, and Rooker is reprising his 'Black Ops 2' role of Mike Harper. Though the casting news comes amid the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike against major video game publishers, including Activision, Variety has confirmed 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' is not a struck title and work on the game has not been impacted by the actors union's work-stoppage. Activision marketing chief Tyler Bahl described casting Ventimiglia as David Mason (who will receive a subtle makeover so the character is more to Ventimiglia's likeness) as the right fit for 'an iconic character from the franchise and one of the fan favorites' from 'Black Ops 2.' 'And then we brought in Kiernan Shipka, which we're super excited about and is red hot right now, to play this character called Emma Kagen,' Bahl told Variety. 'It's a new character, and she is a CEO of this organization called The Guild, and we think her performance will really blow people away. And then finally, Michael Rooker, is returning to the franchise reprising his role as Mike Harper from 'Black Ops 2,' and I think our fans, you know, will be excited to see him, you know, come back and return to the franchise, you know, because he hasn't been here in a while.' Per the game's description, 'In 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7,' Treyarch and Raven Software are bringing players the most mind-bending 'Black Ops' ever. Developed as the next evolution of 'Black Ops,' this is the first-ever consecutive release within the series, set more than 40 years after the events of 'Black Ops 6.' The year is 2035 and the world is on the brink of chaos, ravaged by violent conflict and psychological warfare following the events of 'Black Ops 2' and 'Black Ops 6.' Wielding cutting-edge technology, David Mason and his team must fight back against a manipulative enemy who weaponizes fear above all else.' The game is a co-op campaign and, like 'Black Ops 6,' will include round-based zombies. 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' will be released across Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and on PC via Xbox PC, and Steam. The game will be available at launch through Xbox's Game Pass Ultimate or PC Game Pass subscriptions. 'Usually at this point in time, we would have teased everything that's coming out. And I think in a lot of ways we're setting this up more like a Beyonce album dropping; nobody's going to know about it, or nobody's going to see it coming,' Bahl told Variety. 'The whole goal was to really do something different, and for us to zag and show up in a unique way. And one way of doing that is almost not doing any pre-promotion and giving it to players in a really unexpected way.' Watch the teaser trailer for 'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' below.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Dives Back Into the Shadows With Mason and Menendez
Sunday was Microsoft's Xbox Games Showcase, where the company revealed its upcoming portable handheld, the ROG Xbox Ally, and a slew of upcoming games. The show ended with the first look at the next Call of Duty title, Black Ops 7. The trailer for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 was short, taking place in a futuristic setting with robots and holographic displays. David Mason, played by Milo Ventimiglia, is featured throughout the trailer, which quickly shifts to a strange landscape -- on par with the Black Ops series, where hallucinations caused by military weapons and torture are common themes. According to the game's official page, the year is 2035 and violent conflict and psychological warfare have thrown the world into chaos. The game follows the events of 2012's Black Ops 2, where Mason was introduced as a character, and 2024's Black Ops 6. While other Call of Duty games tend to focus on certain eras of warfare, such as World War II and the Iraq War, the Black Ops series focuses on secret missions typically conducted by the US and range from the Cold War era to more modern and even futuristic times. Black Ops 2 took place in 2025, while Black Ops 6 was set in 1991. All the Black Ops games have certain storyline ties with returning characters and antagonists. In the trailer, David says "Menendez," which is likely Raul Menendez, the villain of Black Ops 2. In that game, he was a Nicaraguan drug lord and leader of the terrorist group Cordis Die. At the end of the game, players ultimately decided whether to spare or kill Menendez, which raises the question of whether Mendez is alive or if this is some hallucination by David. No official release date for Black Ops 7 has been announced, but if it follows the same release pattern as other Call of Duty games, expect it to come out in October. As Microsoft owns the rights to the Call of Duty franchise, the game should be available on Game Pass when it's launched on PC, Xbox One and Xbox Series consoles. It will also be available on PS4 and PS5.
