Season 04 Reloaded for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 details were dropped today by Activision. The mid-season update, set to launch June 25th, will focus on a "Summer of Action" brought about by none other than Hollywood actor Nicolas Cage.
Coming hot on the heels of his most recent film, Spider-Noir, Cage will be a new operator that you can play as across all four modes. The playable character obviously features Cage's likeness as well as his own voicework. A dedicated trailer for Cage and this Summer of Action can be found below.
There is some other stuff coming in the Season 04 Reloaded release. This includes new Endgame content, a new map, a returning map, multiplayer modes, and more. Full details on this update are available on the Call of Duty Blog.
