When Black Ops 4's Battle Royale game mode is going live wherever you live in the world.
The next round of the Battle Royale wars is very nearly upon is with the imminent launch of Call of Duty Blackout, part of COD: Black Ops 4.
If you’re a fan of PUBG but can’t handle the jankiness, and Fortnite’s building systems leaves you feeling cold, we think this is going to be the Battle Royale game for you.
You can expect the usual slick COD gunplay powered by Treyarch’s famously smooth-running engine in one of the most satisfying games in the genre we’ve played this year.
