Call of Duty: Black Ops 7‘s ESRB description has been posted, and included in the ratings description is confirmation that the new game will carry forward the franchise’s appreciation for marijuana.
The ESRB description says some weapons in the game feature “marijuana/joints/paraphernalia” and that operators can be seen “inhaling through bongs as part of execution sequences.” These are likely references to cosmetics, as Call of Duty’s online multiplayer is known for its raft of weed-themed DLC. It remains to be seen, however, if Black Ops 6’s in-game purchases and operator bundles–like the pot-themed Seth Rogen pack–will carry forward to Black Ops 7 when it releases later this year.
The Call of Duty series has embraced marijuana for years, with all manner of weed-themed DLC. The legendary stoners Cheech and Chong came to Modern Warfare 3, while that game had a pot-smoking sloth bundle, too. Black Ops 6, meanwhile, added a special 4/20-themed Nuketown map called Blazetown.
