Black Ops 6 Campaign Early Access Not Happening Confirms Activision
In recent years, Activision gave Call of Duty players a chance to play — and finish — the campaign a wee bit earlier than the release, if you pre-ordered the game which meant that these same players can jump on multiplayer on launch day and not worry about spoilers and such. Well, that won’t be the case for Black Ops 6
Activision has confirmed today that there won’t be Black Ops 6 campaign early access at all. This was confirmed by the publisher to CharlieIntel by sending the following 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.”
This is definitely a huge blow to those who want to play the campaign to get it out of the way before diving into the game’s meat and potatoes, the multiplayer (or Zombies for some). Of course, we’re expecting the campaign to be a short one given it’s confirmed to be the same length as traditional COD campaigns, so if you really want to, you should be able to clear the campaign in less than eight hours.
This breaks the recent streak of Call of Duty games that allowed gamers to pre-order the game to play the campaign early. Treyarch’s most recent COD game, Black Ops Cold War, allowed this as well.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be available this October 25 on the PS4, Xbox One, PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
