TheCall of Dutyfranchise is no stranger to Early Access periods. We’ve seen it happen with its recent games, includingModern Warfare 2and3. So, now the question on everyone’s minds is: WillBlack Ops 6have an Early Access period? Here’s what you need to know.
Will there be Campaign Early Access for Black Ops 6?
Unlike past launches,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6has no Campaign Early Access period. Activision confirmed this information in a statement toCharlieIntel, indicating that it will only focus on features for the Day One launch. Generally, players have gotten to play the Campaign a few days before release, but that’s not the case in light of the recent news.
Even though the standard Campaign Early Access isn’t available, many players did get a taste ofBO6during a previousOpen Betaand Early Access event. The content during that time primarily involved Multiplayer gameplay, offering a select fewweapons, maps, and modes. However, other hit modes, like Zombies and the Campaign, were not included. This Open Beta period has already come and gone, so all that’s left to do is wait for the officialBO6release.
If you notice that some players have tuned into the game despite it not being out yet, they have likely gotten the chance to play due to their specific location. Launch times forCall of Duty: Black Ops 6differ for each region, with New Zealand being one of the first to get hold of it. Fortunately, pre-loads have already gone out to prepare you for launch. I highly suggest downloading it as soon as possible, given that it does take up a large chunk of your storage.

Content forBO6’sCampaign, Multiplayer, and Zombies will start rolling out by Day One. But keep in mind that Zombies’ Main Quests are expected to arrive on Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. PT/1 p.m. ET/6 p.m. BST.
