Get ready, Call of Duty enthusiasts! The much-anticipated Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is set to open its multiplayer beta testing next month, as officially confirmed on the first episode of the Call of Duty podcast. Here's everything you need to know to ensure you don't miss out on this exciting opportunity.
Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 Beta Open Next Month
Two Parts To Beta Testing
Mark your calendars for the upcoming Black Ops 6 multiplayer beta, which will unfold in two distinct phases. The early access beta kicks off on August 30th and runs through to September 4th. This initial phase is exclusively available to those who have pre-ordered Black Ops 6 or currently hold active subscriptions to select Game Pass plans. Following this, the open beta will commence from September 6th to September 9th, welcoming all eager players to dive in and experience the action firsthand.
Don't miss your chance to get a sneak peek at the next chapter in this iconic franchise! The full game is scheduled for release on October 25, 2024, across multiple platforms including PC via Steam, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, and PlayStation 4. Excitingly, it will also be available on Xbox Game Pass from day one.
New And Updated Mechanics
The podcast didn't just announce the beta dates; it also provided some tantalizing details about what to expect from Black Ops 6. Matt Scronce, Treyarch’s associate director of design, shared insights during the podcast. On launch, players can explore 16 multiplayer maps—12 core 6v6 maps and 4 versatile Strike maps that support both 6v6 and 2v2 gameplay.
The beloved Zombies mode is making a grand return with two new maps to explore. A groundbreaking feature, 'Omnimovement,' is set to revolutionize player movement within the game.
For those nostalgic for classic gameplay, rejoice! The traditional score streak system is back, reversing the changes seen in Black Ops: Cold War. Your scores will reset upon being knocked out, adding a thrilling layer of strategy. Additionally, a dedicated melee weapon slot is being introduced, allowing players to equip a knife without sacrificing their secondary weapon—a feature that the Treyarch team is particularly enthusiastic about.
A comprehensive reveal of Black Ops 6 multiplayer is slated for the Call of Duty Next event on August 28. Stay tuned for more updates and prepare to immerse yourself in the action-packed world of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
