CoD BO7 Astra Malorum release window, teasers, rumours, more

CoD BO7 has already begun teasing information about the Season 1 Zombies map, which is called Astra Malorum.

This map is a huge change from what we see with Ashes of the Damned, as it's set to take place off Earth and is likely to feature some strong references and callbacks to the Zombies storyline while Treyarch begins tying things together.

Here is a full breakdown of what we know about the new map, teasers from Treyarch, and what to expect.

CoD BO7 Astra Malorum release window

Astra Malorum will release for CoD BO7 during Season 1, likely at the start of the Season on 4th December 2025. This is what we saw with Black Ops 6's DLC modes and the map will be completely free for everyone to play.

The map is in fact already being teased by Treyarch, who has suggested a full reveal is just days away. Rumours and leaks from The Ghost of Hope, a well-known Call of Duty leaker, have revealed that this map is set on a space station, which the first official image of the map seems to confirm.

CoD BO7 Astra Malorum Teasers

Treyarch has already begun teasing Astra Malorum with posters of various artefacts from the Zombies timeline. They seem to be on display at the Thurston Planetarium Exhibition on the space station. These include the first teaser which references Josiah Shem who was a key figure in CoD Black Ops 6's Zombies storyline.

Following that, the next teaser references a relic fragment, which doesn't appear to have any known reference to an existing storyline or set of characters, so we could have a mixture of items seen before in Zombies or tied to previous stories and new ones.

This next teaser could suggest the return of Element 115 to the storyline, given its a mineral deposit. The element hasn't been seen for years in the modern Zombies storyline.

These teasers will keep coming and we plan to keep this article up to date with the latest information as and when Treyarch reveals it. We should get a full trailer before December arrives with more teasers from Treyarch likely to come in the next few days.
