PC and Xbox One will follow

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4players will get their first real look at the game’s battle royale mode Blackout on September 10. The beta is set to debut on PlayStation 4, with other platforms to follow, and you’ll have access to solos, duos, and “quads.” Little else is known about Blackout, but as seen inrecent teaser footage, you may fly a helicopter. I apologize in advance to my boys for my (lack of) flying skills.

Prepare accordingly.#Blackoutpic.twitter.com/X70KVQ75gU

I’ve yet to play theBlack Ops 4multiplayer beta, but I’m genuinely curious to try Blackout. Speaking of which, if you already have the beta client, you’re all set. Treyarch is simply updating it for Blackout.
