Unsurprisingly, a new
"Call of Duty" game is in the works, specifically the seventh installment in the long-running
"Black Ops" series.
"Call of Duty: Black Ops 7" will be set in 2035, more than 40 years after the events of
"Black Ops 6", and the cast will feature
Milo Ventimiglia (
"This is Us"),
Kiernan Shipka (
"Chilling Adventures of Sabrina") and
Michael Rooker. The actors will provide both voice and motion capture work.
Ventimiglia will play David Mason, the protagonist previously introduced in
"Black Ops 2", while Shipka has been cast as Emma Kagan. Rooker is reprising his role as Mike Harper, who also first appeared in
"Black Ops 2".
Activision marketing chief
Tyler Bahl said the following:
"Casting Ventimiglia as David Mason was the right fit for an iconic character from the franchise and one of the fan favorites. 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 Kagan 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."
Here is the game's official 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'.
