Black Ops 4 kills the campaign in favor of some battle royale

Press “F” to pay respects to Fortnite.

The series which has become the most played in Call of Duty  returns October 12th with the release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. The game will feature the biggest Zombies offering ever with three full experiences at launch, and Blackout, where the Black Ops universe comes to life in a massive battle royale experience featuring iconic characters and locations from all four Black Ops games in a one-of-a-kind offering that is uniquely Black Ops.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4  features the return of the iconic Pick 10 system, along with a series of innovations in weapon controls, combat flow, health regeneration, and player movement. Black Ops 4 goes deeper than ever before into the fiction of multiplayer, where players will explore the world of Specialists – who they are, why they exist, and what battles they fight together – while mastering their gameplay through solo and multiplayer combat experiences.

Celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the original Call of Duty ZombiesBlack Ops 4 also debuts an entirely new Zombies experience that’s the biggest Day One offering in franchise history – with three fully-featured Zombies experiences at launch – IXVoyage of Despair and Blood of the Dead.

It also includes the most customizable action to date, new systems for creating and completing community challenges, and social systems designed to connect players. Additionally, Zombie Rush is a brand new mode that streamlines the gameplay experience, introducing enticing new challenges to grizzled veterans, while creating a whole new tempo of gameplay for newcomers.

In addition to unveiling Multiplayer and Zombies in today’s world premiere, the team also introduced Blackout – the new battle royale-style experience that combines Black Ops’ signature combat, with new levels of survival competition across iconic Black Ops settings re-imagined at a larger scale.

Featuring the largest map ever built in Call of Duty – 1,500 times bigger than Nuketown – Blackout puts players on a collision course as they play as classic characters spanning the history of the Black Ops series including the original Call of Duty Zombies Origins cast.

For the PC, Treyarch is co-developing with Beenox, who together are working closely with Blizzard to optimize Black Ops 4 for Battle.net. In addition, Treyarch and Beenox worked closely with the team at Blizzard to incorporate Battle.net’s social systems, security, and server stability into Black Ops 4 to prepare for the release on Battle.net on October 12th.
