Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Community Reveal Most Watched COD Reveal Ever

Activision and Treyarch may have flipped the script on fans with much of the reveal for Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII last Thursday, May 17, 2018, but it didn’t stop people from showing up to watch the show. Black Ops 4 is hand-over-foot the most watched reveal for the entire Call of Duty franchise.

As reported by Business Insider on May 23, 2018, the Black Ops 4 reveal has gone past over 80 million views by way of the live stream, official trailers, and content creator videos. Even through just the Call of Duty YouTube channel alone, views on the English official trailers from the reveal have surpassed over 20 million views. This doesn’t include the fact that the reveal was broadcast worldwide in 10 languages and the content since has also been made available on that scale.

Black Ops 4 has spun a wealth of discussion across the internet as well since its reveal on May 17. As much as it is still the fast-paced first-person shooter people know, this iteration seems to break away from a wealth of norms in the series, including the introduction of a new battle royale mode called “Blackout”. What’s more is that this seems to be taking the place of traditional single-player campaigns in the game for the time being. Multiplayer and Zombie mode reveals also featured an array of twists and turns, including what appears to be Rainbow Six: Siege-style kits and tools for operators and heavily customizable and varied experiences for the Zombie mode.

Despite the many changes and evolutions that appear to be coming to Black Ops 4, numbers don’t lie. People are curious to see how this new generation of the game will play, especially given its clear intent to compete with the competitive shooters dominating the arenas right now.

Black Ops 4 is slated to release on October 12, 2018 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
