Call of Duty: Black Ops 4
Activision and Treyarch have dropped a trailer for the newest Call of Duty game today, specifically focusing on the game's multiplayer and early beta access.
The new trailer shows of all the toys and operator classes players will take for a spin. It also ends with footage of the game's Blackout mode, the battle royale mode introduced into Black Ops 4.
For the various betas, PlayStation 4 once again gets early access, with other platforms to follow. All the console betas will require a preorder of the game to get access. The PS4-exclusive weekend starts on August 3 at 10:00 a.m. PT and ends on August 6 at the same time.
For Xbox One owners, the next weekend has a beta for both consoles at 10 a.m. PT, with PC having a closed beta on August 10, as well, and an open beta on August 11.
The trailer shows off Blackout mode for the first time, stitching together several multiplayer maps throughout the series into a battle royale playground. From the footage, we can tell these include at least Nuketown and World at War's zombies map. Blackout mode is getting its own separate beta, also coming first to the PlayStation 4, in September.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is releasing on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 12.
