Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will feature a Fortnite-style battle royale mode

After announcing the game back in March, today, Activision has finally provided a glimpse at the next Call of Duty. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (unfortunately styled “IIII”) will ditch the series’s traditional single-player campaign, and instead focus on multiplayer. (There will still be narrative elements, but they will be weaved into the multiplayer modes.)

That multiplayer focus will include the now-standard “zombies” mode, as well as a brand-new addition: “blackout,” a Black Ops take on PUBG and Fortnite-style battle royale. The mode will pull characters and locations from previous games in the subseries, take place in what Activision describes as the biggest map ever featured in a Call of Duty game, and include ground, air, and sea vehicles.

Meanwhile, here’s a look at the more traditional multiplayer mode:

According to an Activision source, the multiplayer focus of Black Ops 4 doesn’t indicate a shift for the series as a whole. Instead, it’s a change specific to this year’s game, indicating that future Call of Duty titles will return to the bombastic cinematic single-player modes players are used to. To make up for the absence of a traditional campaign, Black Ops 4 will feature three different “zombies” experiences when it launches. That includes a brand-new storyline separate from past games, and what appears to be elements pulled from Gladiatorand Titanic... for some reason. Here’s a look at two of the zombie experiences:

In another series first, the PC version of Black Ops 4 will follow in the footsteps of Destiny 2and utilize Blizzard’s Battle.net online infrastructure. (Blizzard is also owned by Activision.)

The game is being developed by Treyarch, which released Black Ops 3 in 2015, and it follows last year’s throwback Call of Duty: WWII. Call of Duty isn’t the only big-name game getting unveiled in the weeks leading up to E3, which kicks off next month in Los Angeles. Earlier this week, Bethesda officially announced Rage 2, and on May 23rd, EA will provide the first look at Battlefield V, with an event hosted by The Daily Show’s Trevor Noah. Square Enix, meanwhile, has been steadily dripping details about the next Tomb Raider, which launches in September.

Black Ops 4 is launching on the PS4, Xbox One, and PC on October 12th.

Call of Duty WW2

Call of Duty WW2 Call of Duty : WWII pre-review Many of us are old enough to remember a time when the idea of a first-person shooter set during World War II seemed overdone to the point of parody. The first three Call of Duty releases took place during World War II, breaking from the tradition with 2007’s Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare . Call of Duty: WWII , developer Sledghammer Games’ second full release in the franchise, brings us back to that historic conflict as the series begins to eat its own tail on modern hardware. Or maybe this could be seen as a sort of reboot. Call of Duty: WWII packs in the same ridiculous amount of things to do as past games in the series with a full single-player campaign, many options for multiplayer including the asymmetrical War game mode , the new Headquarters social hub and of cours...

Kirk Douglas remarkably celebrates his 102nd birthday on December 9, 2018. The three-time Oscar nominee appeared in dozens of movies in a career that spanned decades. But how many of those titles are classics? In honor of his birthday, let’s take a look back at 15 of his greatest films, ranked worst to best. Born in 1916, Douglas kicked off his acting career after serving in the Navy during WWII. He made his film debut with a small role in “The Strange Love of Martha Ivers” (1946). His first Oscar nomination as Best Actor came just three years later for Mark Robson ‘s boxing drama “Champion” (1949). He earned two more Oscar bids working with director Vincent Minnelli , first for the Hollywood melodrama “The Bad and the Beautiful” (1952) and again for the Vincent Van Gogh biopic “Lust for Life” (1956). The latter film brought him victories at the Golden Globes and New York Film Critics Circle. SEE Honorary Oscars: Full gallery of acting recipients inc...
