In October last year, info from an alleged focus group meeting surfaced stating that Call of Duty 2025 will see yet another entry in the Black Ops franchise. Multiple Call of Duty dataminers have since claimed this is the case as well, based on what they’ve spotted in Call of Duty HQ.

With the launch of Black Ops 6’s Season 3 Reloaded, a new batch of files have been added to COD HQ, which are allegedly part of COD 2025 or what some are calling Black Ops 7. Chief among the findings is the return of wallrunning.

The Next Call of Duty Will See the Return of Wallrunning If Game Files Are to Be Believed

The datamined files have been spotted by reliable dataminer COD Warfare, which MP1st has communicated with privately as well regarding the findings. Per the dataminer, the code has been added as part of the Season 3 Reloaded download, and it can even be activated in Black Ops 6!

COD Warfare mentions the files added are “test code” slotted in to COD HQ. and changing a code in Black Ops 6’s files will enable it. This is due to COD HQ and all the Call of Duty games sharing one engine. In case you’re doubting these claims, here’s a video of wallrunning enabled in Black Ops 6!

Rumors have mentioned previously that Call of Duty 2025 will be once again developed by Treyarch, and will be Black Ops 7. This info, along with wallrunning feature present in the next iteration of the shooter, should be treated with a bag of salt for now. Unless confirmed by Activision, we should treat this as an anomaly that’s not a confirmation of an upcoming feature.

Who knows? Perhaps Treyarch will roll out a game mode for Black Ops 6 that enables wallrunning? Chances of that happening are low given the game’s maps aren’t really built for that kind of verticality. For now, treat this as a rumor, though one we should hear more about in the months ahead.

Wallrunning in Call of Duty was first introduced in Black Ops 3 to great effect. This was followed up by Infinite Warfare, Black Ops 4, and Advanced Warfare. The movement mechanic was explained as part of the specialist’s suit, which enabled superhuman vertical jumps, wallruns, and other advanced movement.
