'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' Removed This Fan-Favorite Map—Will It Ever Return?

One of the most popular maps in "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7" has been removed by Treyarch Studios and Activision Blizzard despite it being a fan-favorite.

'Call of Duty: Black Ops 7' Removed this Fan-Favorite Map

According to GameRant's latest report, Treyarch Studios has mysteriously removed one of the fan-favorite maps in "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7" right before the release of the online play's Season 1.

The map in question is "Blackheart," which was released alongside the base game's arrival last November 14 as part of the 15 Multiplayer locations in the title.

"Blackheart" is widely revered in the game because of its balanced setup, offering a strong, three-lane structure that made it possible for all kinds of gamers to thrive or dominate. Weapon types like SMGs, LMGs, Assault Rifles, Shotguns, and Sniper Rifles may thrive in Blackheart and not get overpowered by a specific type alone, offering gamers a chance to showcase their skills better with their weapon of choice.

Each match taking place in "Blackheart" gave players a chance to show off their skills and shooter IQ without worrying about the type of weapons they needed to be able to get an advantage in the Multiplayer mode.

However, it is not an entirely bizarre removal from Treyarch Studios, particularly as the "Call of Duty" Updates account on X recently posted an announcement claiming that they are only temporarily removing the map.

The update account of the game only stated that the team found an "issue" and is now working on fixing it before it is brought back to the Public and Private map pools.

When Will the Map Return?

According to the update, the Blackheart map will make its grand return with the next update of the game, but there are still no set release dates for this.

Fans and players have expressed their dismay over the map's removal, claiming that this is "one of the best" locations in the game, and have requested that other maps be put in to replace it temporarily.

There is a lot more to explore in "Black Ops 7" now that Season 1 is here. Additionally, there is still the "Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 Zombies," which continues its supernatural horror experiences set in the action FPS world.
