Call of Duty’s Blackout battle royale mode gets a beta September 10

We’ve known since May that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will have a battle royale mode similar to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds and Fortnite, and now developer Treyarch has confirmed when the prerelease beta test will go live for players to get a taste of that action. The mode, called Blackout, will enter a “private beta” on PlayStation 4 beginning September 10.

We still don’t have a lot of details, but Treyarch posted a new teaser video to Twitter. The clip doesn’t show any gameplay, but it does confirm that players will have the option to go into matches as lone wolves or as teams of two or four. The video also says that the Blackout private beta will come to “other platforms” at a later date, so have some patience Xbox One and PC fans.
