Menendez Surprise Revealed in Black Ops 7
There is another new development that will excite fans of the Black Ops series. Treyarch has released a short teaser for Black Ops 7 focused on Raul Menendez. This surprise video references old games while also giving hints about the new story.
Menendez and Cordis Die Return in Black Ops 7
The short trailer released is titled “The Lesson” and begins with Menendez’s iconic words: “2025 was just the beginning. It was a necessary first step. You will taste fear again.” This line directly references the events of Black Ops 2.
In the second game of the series, players could decide whether or not to kill Menendez. If the decision was made to kill him, Cordis Die, the revolutionary group led by Menendez, would stir up trouble in Washington D.C. and attack all the way to the White House. Treyarch drew attention by releasing this surprise video exactly 12 years later, on June 20, the date Menendez was killed.
The story of Black Ops 7 takes place in 2035, after Black Ops 2. It has been confirmed that Menendez’s influence will continue in the story. However, it is not yet clear whether the character will actually return. According to some theories, this return could be in the form of a memory or a hologram.
On the other hand, leaks indicate that David Mason, the lead character of Black Ops 2, will join the story as the new team leader and Frank Woods will also return. This information seems to open the door to new surprises while remaining true to the roots of the series.
