Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 reveals map for battle royale mode inspired by Fortnite
- The next game in the “Call of Duty” franchise will feature a
battle royale game mode in the same vein as the popular game
“Fortnite.” - The new game mode will allow 80 players to compete against
each other in the same map. - On Thursday, the game’s developer, Treyarch, revealed what
the complete map will look like.
Earlier this year “Call of Duty,” one of gaming’s most
recognizable first-person shooter franchises, announced that it
would be stepping into the battle royale genre popularized by
“Fortnite” and “PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds” with a new mode in
“Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.”
Titled “Blackout,” the mode will pit 80 players against each
other on the largest map in the history of the series.
Developer Treyarch revealed the full map for “Blackout” on Sept.
5th via Twitter. “Blackout” will feature a number of returning
characters and weapons from previous Black Ops games. In prior
announcements, Treyarch said the map will feature some familiar
locales and players will be able to wage war from land, sea, and
air with a variety of vehicles.
Private beta tests for “Blackout” will be available to players
who pre-ordered “Call of Duty: Black Ops 4” starting next week.
PlayStation players will have access to an exclusive beta period
from Sept. 10-14. Xbox One players will be able to join in on the
fun Sept. 14 and the beta will continue on both consoles until
Sept. 17th.
For those who prefer PC, there will be a single day of private
beta for pre-orders on Sept. 14th, before the game enters open
beta from Sept. 15-17.
“Call of Duty: Black Ops 4” will launch October 12 on PlayStation
4, Xbox One, and PC. The PC version will be exclusive to
Blizzard’s Battle.net.
