Black Ops 7 Zombies – Playable Characters and the Return of TranZit

The hype around Black Ops 7 Zombies keeps growing, and one of the biggest reveals so far is the lineup of 8 playable operators. For the first time, Treyarch is bringing together both the Requiem crew from Black Ops 6 and four of the most iconic figures in Zombies history. On top of that, the new map — Ashes of the Damned — is set to be the largest round-based Zombies map ever created, heavily inspired by the fan-favorite TranZit from Black Ops II.

🎭 The 8 Playable Characters in BO7 Zombies

Treyarch confirmed that 8 operators will be available to use across Zombies, Multiplayer, and Warzone:

• Maya Aguinaldo – Returning from BO6 as one of the Requiem operatives.
• Dr. Elizabeth Grey – The Requiem scientist who continues to investigate the Dark Aether.
• William Peck – Former antagonist turned ally, reprising his role in the story.
• Grigori Weaver – The hardened leader of Requiem.
• “Tank” Dempsey – The iconic Marine, now in a new variant for BO7.
• Nikolai Belinski – Fan-favorite Russian soldier, back with updated dialogue and look.
• Takeo Masaki – The honorable warrior of the original crew.
• Edward Richtofen – The infamous doctor, bringing his twisted charisma back into the spotlight.

This roster bridges the gap between Requiem and the classic Primis crew, offering both continuity and nostalgia.

🗺️ Ashes of the Damned – The New TranZit-Inspired Map

The flagship BO7 Zombies map is Ashes of the Damned, taking place in the Dark Aether right after the events of Reckoning. It unites the Requiem team with Dempsey, Nikolai, Takeo, and Richtofen in a desperate fight for survival.

Key features of Ashes of the Damned:

• Confirmed as the largest round-based Zombies map ever.
• Includes multiple interconnected zones with fog-covered roads.
• Inspired by TranZit (Black Ops II) with recreations of Farm, Diner, and Power Station.
• New areas never seen before: Janus Towers parking lot, a rocket launch facility, and even a floating pyramid.
• Introduction of the Wonder Vehicle, an upgradeable truck that any player can drive to move between zones.

This makes Ashes of the Damned both a nostalgic callback to TranZit and a modern expansion of the Zombies formula.

🧩 Final Thoughts

Black Ops 7 Zombies is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious Zombies modes ever released. With 8 playable characters, the return of fan-favorite icons, and the largest round-based map to date, players will have more freedom, lore, and replayability than ever before.

And while Zombies fans are excited for Ashes of the Damned, don’t forget that LobbyGod will be fully functional for Multiplayer and Warzone integration in BO7, letting you avoid SBMM frustrations and focus on enjoying the game.
