Get ready to experience the new Call of Duty Black Ops 4 as we’re coming closer to its first Open Beta phase. There will be two Betas available during August, in which a smaller portion of the community will get the chance to experience it before it completely opens to everyone.

On August 3rd, CoD Black Ops 4 will host its first Private Beta, while on August 11 everyone who wants to try the game could do it so. As announced on Treyarch’s official website:

This is an exciting opportunity for us at Treyarch because – not only are we putting more content into players’ hands earlier than ever before – we get to break new ground by hosting two separate Beta experiences,” said Co-Studio Head Dan Bunting. “Games are better when they’re a result of a dialogue with our community. Not only does it improve the game’s quality, but it allows us to respond to player feedback and custom-craft the experience to how players engage most with the game. We want launch day to be a celebration that players around the world can enjoy together, and we know it won’t stop there – we will always work tirelessly to improve, grow, and evolve the game beyond launch.

Players will be able to experience the first Battle Royale experience in the game. The list of Open Beta schedules are as follows:

PlayStation 4 (Starts: August 3 at 10am/PT – Ends: August 6 at 10am/PT)
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One (Starts: August 10 at 10am/PT – Ends: August 13 at 10am/PT)
PC Beta Early Access (Starts: August 10 at 10 am/PT) *PC exclusively on Battle.Net
PC Open Beta (Starts: August 11 at 10am/PT – Ends: August 13 at 10am/PT)

By participating the Open Beta players will receive rewards such as a unique one-of-a-kind calling card. During the Beta event, there will be more game modes available, such as Team Deathmatch, Domination, Search & Destroy, Hardpoint and control. However, The most exciting part is the Battle Royale Mode which will be introduced to CoD for the first time. Battle Royale won’t be available until September. How will the developers take the Battle Royale mode and is it going to choke the already two most popular BR games nowadays Fortnite and PUBG?

We’re curious to see the outcome and the elements to offer. After the two most popular Fortnite and PUBG, we have seen numerous of tries of other Battle Royale video games, whether or not they’re standalone or as a mod, they failed to impress the fans across the world.
