It’s bad news for anyone eager to dive intoCall of Duty: Black Ops 6’s campaign mode, asActivisionhas confirmed that for the first time in two years, players won’t be offered early access to the single-player story ahead of the first-person shooter’s multiplayer launch.
In astatement sent to Charlie INTEL, Activision says that the “team is fully focused on October 25,” and is “excited about all the game has to offer across Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies.” It continues: “This year, we made the decision to ensure the community gets to dig in to any and all modes that they want at the same time, so we are back to one massive global launch moment October 25. As such, there is no Early Access beat this year for Black Ops 6, just the countdown to launch.”
It’s not that there’s been no early access to Black Ops 6 at all, as the FPS recently wrapped up amultiplayer betaperiod, allowing players across all platforms to get stuck into the action and try out the fancy new omnimovement options. However, with that beta window now closed, it’s back to the countdown for the game’s full release next month, which may now feel even further away than ever for those who were banking on an early campaign launch.
