Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is a 2018 first-person shooter game developed by Treyarch and published by Activision. It is the fifteenth installment of the Call of Duty series and the fifth entry in the Black Ops sub-series, following Call of Duty: Black Ops III (2015). The game was released on October 12, 2018, for PlayStation 4, Windows, and Xbox One.
Black Ops 4 is the first mainline Call of Duty title to not include a single-player campaign. Instead, it features the Specialist HQ, which details the backstories of the multiplayer mode's characters, known as "Specialists"; its missions are set between Call of Duty: Black Ops II (2012) and Black Ops III chronologically. The multiplayer component is the first in the series to not feature automatic health regeneration and introduces both predictive recoil and a new ballistics system. The cooperative Zombies mode also returned, with four maps available on release day. Additionally, Black Ops 4 features a battle royale mode called Blackout, which features up to 100 players in each match.
