Activision has confirmed that you can indeed pet the dog in Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, but it’s not exactly what you think. Black Ops 7 is a futuristic game set in 2035, and it features the Deployable Armored Weaponized Groundcraft, or D.A.W.G. In a newly released video, the developers from Treyarch said a small team put in the work to add the ability to pet the killer robot machine.
“This is a fun one. It started as a small, little Easter egg and, inevitably, somebody asked the question, ‘Can I pet that dog?’ And a very small group of people made it happen,” design director Matt Scronce said.
You can see the character petting the D.A.W.G. in the video below, but Scronce said Treyarch is not going to reveal exactly how players achieve petting the D.A.W.G. You’ll have to figure that out for yourself, he said.
Players will get to try to figure it out for themselves when the Black Ops 7 multiplayer beta kicks off in early October.
Earlier this week, Activision opened the floodgates on information about Black Ops 7’s multiplayer, including revealing all the maps and modes available at launch.
Activision will share lots more details on Black Ops 7’s multiplayer mode during the Call of Duty: Next event, which is scheduled for September 30.
Black Ops 7 is a direct sequel to 2024’s Black Ops 6, which was the year’s best-selling game in the US. The same two co-lead developers, Raven Software and Treyarch, made both games.
