The brand returned to the biggest consumer gaming event that takes place annually in Cologne, Germany, with a first look at Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, and new gameplay for The Outer Worlds 2, Ninja Gaiden 4, and a new DLC for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, called The Order of Giants.

Call of Duty fans are in for a treat, as Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is shaping up to be, frankly, weird. Early reveals have shown a potentially mind-bending campaign where our characters appear to be fighting their way through some kind of virtual world. It's an odd one, and you won't need to wait long to jump in.
