Over the last couple of COD releases, Activision has served up a campaign early access period for pre-orders, but that will not be the case for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. In a statement provided to CharlieIntel, the Xbox developer says it "is fully focused on October 25th" as the team opts for a one-date launch for all aspects of this year's COD game.
Given that we've not heard any rumblings of campaign early access in recent weeks, we're not totally surprised by this, but it's nice to have some sort of confirmation nonetheless. Here's the team's full statement:
"The team is fully focused on October 25th. We are excited about all the game has to offer across Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies. 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 25th. As such, there is no Early Access beat this year for Black Ops 6, just the countdown to launch."
Speaking of early access to the game, a massive two-weekend beta just wrapped up for the multiplayer portion of Black Ops 6 - a beta that developer Treyarch now says is "the biggest Call of Duty beta ever". We're not surprised by that, given that the whole thing was playable on Xbox Game Pass; even the early access portion.
