Not sure, bbPress could always possibly need only slight changes to support it if any. You can always try it on a test server/local development area to check and make sure though.
Any news about PHP 7 compatibility?
Best regards,
Michael
Works fine for me on PHP 7.0.5
FYI: bbPress is 100% compatible with PHP 7
Hi there,
bbPress does not seem to be fully PHP-7-compatible at present after all. Running a PHP 7 checker, I encountered the following errors and warnings in bbPress 2.5.10-6063:
FILE: /wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/core/cache.php
134 | ERROR | Parameter shadowing super global ($_post) causes fatal error since PHP 5.4

Is there a timeline for getting these addressed?
See https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/2973 for further information and bbPress 2.6 PHP 7.x compatability.
