With the massive amount of success that the likes of Fortnite Battle Royale and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) has seen in the past year, Activision and Treyarch have developed the very first battle royale game mode for the Call of Duty franchise in Black Ops 4 with hopes to compete with the likes of Fortnite and PUBG and give fans of the first person shooter franchise a new game mode to experience.
Blackout will contain content from every installment in the fan favorite Black Ops series of Call of Duty into it with characters, weapons, vehicles, maps and more from the multiplayer and zombie game modes of every title being apart of the battle royale experience. This had led to the community being very excited to see how Treyarch has achieved this for the first time in the upcoming September, 10th start date for the beta.
