News: You will be able to get your hands on the new Call of Duty next month and will be rewarded for participating.

Activision and Treyarch have revealed details about the upcoming beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII. First off, Black Ops 4 will feature not one, but two betas. The Multiplayer Beta kicks off on August 3rd on the PlayStation 4, followed shortly by the Xbox One and PC. Then in September, a brand new, uniquely Black Ops, battle royale experience comes to life in a first-ever hands-on with their new mode, Blackout.

The Multiplayer Beta schedule is as follows:

PlayStation 4

Begins August 3 at 10am Pacific and runs through August 6 at 10am Pacific

PlayStation 4 and Xbox One

Begins August 10 at 10am Pacific and runs through August 13 at 10am Pacific

PC Beta Early Access

Begins August 10 at 10am Pacific and is available exclusively on Battle.net

PC Open Beta

Begins August 11 at 10am Pacific and runs through August 13 at 10am Pacific

“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.”

All participants in the Beta will receive a unique, one-of-a-kind calling card that they can proudly display. And for every player that achieves max rank in the Beta, they will earn a Permanent Unlock Token to apply to any piece of Create-a-Class content when the game comes out.
