The Replacer Returns with Celebrity-Packed Mars Mission
Peter Stormare’s fan-favorite character stars in the new trailer alongside celebrities including Jake Paul and Love Island’s Huda Mustafa. The tongue-in-cheek play on Blue Origin’s celebrity space adventures takes a comedic turn when things go sideways, forcing The Replacer to call in backup.
Terry Crews and Nikki Glaser join as the latest members of the Replacer Corps, officially called into duty after The Replacer gets stuck in orbit. The duo speeds into action in The Replacer’s iconic muscle car, ensuring everyone gets proper Black Ops 7 playtime while the original handles Mars duty.
For Call of Duty marketing fans, The Replacer campaign has been a franchise staple since Black Ops II, with Peter Stormare portraying the character who offers to replace people in various jobs so they can play Call of Duty. This latest installment maintains the series’ trademark humor while introducing fresh faces to the Replacer universe.
Black Ops 7 is set in 2035 and follows a team of agents led by David Mason in the aftermath of Black Ops II. The game features single-player/co-op campaign, multiplayer, and the cooperative Zombies mode—all accessible through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate on launch day.
The “Baristas” trailer represents one segment of the broader Replacer campaign, showing how the character infiltrates everyday jobs to help gamers focus on Black Ops 7. In Black Ops 6, The Replacer became a playable character for the first time, suggesting potential in-game appearances for Crews and Glaser in future content drops.
The Windows version requires TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot enabled to provide strong anti-cheat protection for multiplayer matches. Season 1 content launches shortly after release with what developers call the biggest seasonal drop in franchise history.
