In a statement shared with Call Of Duty news website Charlie Intel, Activision confirms that Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will be sticking with a single global launch around October 25, 2024, with no early access benefits. As a result, players who are eager to try out what the Call Of Duty: Black Ops 6 narrative campaign's complex storytelling has in-store for us, will have to wait until its official release. Activision are going to be focusing on a massive global launch for all game modes on October 25.

Unlike Black Ops 6, previously released Call Of Duty titles granted early access to the campaign mode for players who pre-order the title, with access to multiplayer matches for everyone during the official launch of the game.It seems the publishers want everything in the game to be relatively novel, with none of the players having early access benefits.

In the statement, Activision explained that it wants the "massive" global launch to be the time when the entire community gets access.

"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."

Activision is obviously hoping that sticking to a single release date for all Black Ops 6 modes would maximize the impact of the game's launch, even as impatient players become annoyed as they wish for some time to play the campaign before jumping over to the multiplayer mode. Whether this strategy works well, only time can tell.
