Will There Be a Jetpack in Black Ops 7?

The jetpack rumors that have been circulating for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 in recent days have divided players into two. The question of whether this advanced movement system, which we have seen in previous games of the series, will return in the new game has been frequently discussed on social media. However, Activision and Treyarch gave a clear answer to these rumors in a new podcast broadcast.

Black Ops 7 Will Offer Omni Movement Development Instead of Jetpack

Activision officially announced that Black Ops 7 will not have a jetpack system. According to the statement, the game will feature a system described as “the evolution of omni movement”. This means that the game will follow a completely different path from the advanced movement mechanics in previous games of the series.

The game’s timeline also supports this decision. It was announced that Black Ops 7 will take place approximately 30 years before Black Ops 3. This shows that it is not technologically possible to use equipment such as jetpacks.

On the other hand, the data that emerged last month hinted that wallrunning mechanics would return. Some players integrated these codes into the existing game and shared images of wallrunning on social media. Activision’s statement “evolution of omnimovement” probably points to this system.

It remains unclear whether jetpacks will return to the series in the future. However, with this statement from Activision, it has become certain that such high-tech movement systems will not be included in Black Ops 7. Players are divided in two against this decision. While some support staying loyal to classic movement systems, others argue that innovative mechanics should be open.
