How Long is the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Campaign?

Call of Duty campaigns are known for being brief FPS outings that trade depth for thrills. It’s a system that has worked for decades at keeping fans engaged without stretching the proceedings out so long that they grow bored — and Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is sticking to the same script. This time, though, you can play the whole campaign with up to three other players. Let’s see if that changes things up when we take a look at how long it takes to beat Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

How long is the Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 campaign?

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s length will change based on whether you play it solo or cooperatively. As it’s designed for four-player co-op, you can make quicker work of the enemies and objectives when playing with others who can help share the load.

Additionally, since there is no difficulty setting, working your way through it alone will provide a challenge on par with past titles’ Normal mode. This means more casual players who preferred the easiest setting could find things slightly more difficult than usual.

All of that being said, a solo run of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s campaign should take an average of 6-8 hours, while playing it in co-op with a decent team can shave an hour or two off of that expectation. Of course, if you’re looking to find all of the intel (collectibles), you can add back a few hours, too, as some of them are better hidden than you’d expect and could take multiple playthroughs of a mission to discover.

How do you play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 solo?

To play Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 solo, get to the main menu of the campaign mode and look just beneath the mission setting to see a toggle that says “Squad Fill”. Toggle this setting off to play the game alone, then toggle it back on if and when you decide you want to run with a squad.

Just keep in mind that running without a squad means that dying can set you back quite a bit. It’s a good idea to keep an eye out for Self-Revive kits so that you can get back into the fight if you’re downed while playing solo.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is available now on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series S|X, and PC.
