Double XP tokens and GobbleGums are exempt from this, and would be the solely gadgets to hold ahead to the brand new recreation.
The weblog publish additionally confirms that Black Ops 7 retailer bundles will probably be “crafted to suit the Black Ops identification.”
“We have to ship a greater stability towards the immersive, core Name of Obligation expertise,” it provides.
