This year, the Call of Duty franchise gets a whole new mode, created to suit perfectly the industry’s most popular genre at the moment. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout is a new battle royale mode for the upcoming title and developers claim that it will be better than Fortnite and PUBG.
Speaking with Finder, game designer Matt Scronce and senior producer Yale Miller shared some information about the development of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout and what to expect when it finally releases. When talking about battle royale titles and their popularity, Scronce stated:
“We wouldn’t do this if we didn’t think we could do it best and better than everybody else. We’ve got a huge library of content, ten years of history, we’ve got the best gunplay out there, we’ve got the best movement, so we’re not too worried about it. Honestly, we’re just worried about making this damn thing as fun as possible.”
Senior producer Yale Miller also had his own opinion regarding the future success of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 Blackout and how it will fit the battle royale genre. He revealed:
“And look, we’re in a world where there’s plenty of room for multiple titles. We’ve seen that in first-person shooters as a whole. Y’know, people would sometimes ask “how is Battlefield and CoDgoing to exist in the same industry?” We do. What we’re doing is going to be different. Some players will gravitate to us and people may gravitate towards other games. We’re making something that, when we play it, we have a whole lotta fun and I think we can grow out from that.”
