If you’ve been keeping an eye out for shooter game sales lately, then *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7* has likely made its way onto your shortlist.With the holiday season approaching, the game will launch a limited-time sale and free trial in the China region simultaneously. Combined with the already low price in the China region, this makes it one of the most affordable titles in the *Call of Duty* series right now.

Let’s start with the bottom line on price: This is the best time in recent years to pick up Call of Duty.

Even without any discounts, the price of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7* in the Chinese market has already been significantly reduced:

• Standard Edition: 348 yuan
• Vault Edition: 548 yuan

Compared to its predecessor, *Call of Duty: Black Ops 6* (Standard Edition: 488 yuan / Vault Edition: 660 yuan), the base price has been reduced by about 30%, and the price in the Chinese region is among the lowest globally.

And during the upcoming holiday sale (December 17 – January 6), prices will drop even further:

• Standard Edition: 30% off (approximately 240 yuan)

In terms of content: Season 1 really is “plentiful and satisfying.”

In terms of content updates, Season 1 of *Call of Duty: Black Ops 7* officially launched earlier this month and has been described by the developers as the largest Season 1 in the series' history.

A few points worth noting include:

• The "Endgame" mode, a pure PVE mode under the campaign branch that combines "search, fight, and retreat" gameplay with Roguelike progression mechanics, has seen Treyarch update its disconnection protection mechanism to address player complaints about disconnections, thereby reducing the risk of progress loss.
• Multimode Synchronization: Multiplayer mode has been expanded with new maps and party gameplay; Zombie mode now features a brand-new turn-based map and event zones; the "Valley of Shadows" map has been added to the Warzone, along with a new limited-time mode.

All core gameplay content is available via free updates, with in-game purchases primarily focused on the Battle Pass and cosmetic items. Following the massive Season 1 update, the game is now offering discounts and a free trial—making this the perfect time for players who are still on the fence to give it a try.

Opinion: Which Players Should Buy It Now?

Taking into account price, content, and the demo schedule, we recommend that the following types of players pay special attention to this event:

• Players who want to experience the full version of the new Call of Duty game at a low price
• Users who prefer multiplayer or zombie modes for long-term gameplay
• Players interested in PVE + progression gameplay like "The Final Mission"
• People who hesitated to buy due to the price but were willing to wait for a discount—the "wait-and-see crowd"

If you're still on the fence, the safest bet right now is to try the free trial first and then decide whether to buy it while it's on sale.

Discounts and free trial periods are subject to the final release information provided by each platform.
