The highly anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 will include split-screen functionality, but notably not for its cooperative campaign mode. Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 marks the series' return to cooperative campaign gameplay since 2015's Black Ops 3, with subsequent titles either offering solo campaigns or, as seen with Black Ops 4, eliminating campaign content entirely.

Marketing efforts for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 have heavily emphasized its campaign elements. Reveal trailers have extensively showcased the campaign, highlighting the return of popular characters and confirming the game serves as a direct sequel to the acclaimed Black Ops 2. While the game will support 4-player cooperative campaign play, split-screen functionality will unfortunately be absent from this mode.

Game Rant contacted Activision representatives for clarification regarding split-screen support in the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 cooperative campaign. The confirmation came that Black Ops 7 will not include split-screen for its cooperative campaign. Players can experience the campaign either solo or through online multiplayer. This development proves somewhat disappointing given that Black Ops 3 featured split-screen cooperative play, though the functionality hasn't been completely removed from the new title.

The official support documentation for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 verifies that split-screen will be available in certain capacities. Black Ops 6 incorporated split-screen for both Zombies mode and multiplayer, making it highly probable that Black Ops 7 will follow suit. Therefore, while the cooperative campaign won't support split-screen, players can still anticipate local cooperative gameplay in the title's additional modes.

Additional details regarding Black Ops 7's other gameplay modes will emerge in the coming weeks. The major Call of Duty NEXT presentation event is set for September 30, where developers will unveil Black Ops 7's Zombies and multiplayer components.

This event will likely provide Call of Duty enthusiasts with information about the game's beta testing phase. For players eager to experience Black Ops 7 multiplayer before the official November 14 launch, early access beta will commence on October 2 for those who pre-ordered or subscribed to Xbox Game Pass Ultimate/PC Game Pass. The beta will then become available to all players on October 5, running through October 8.
