Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Reveal \u2018Biggest Ever\u2019 Claims Activision, Huge Viewing Figures and Pre-Orders Beating Last Year Activision have announced that the community reveal event was the \u2018biggest ever\u2019 for CoD game reveal, breaking previous viewing records. In a blog post Wednesday May 23rd, Activision have stated that it was the \u2018most watched\u2019 game reveal in the franchise\u2019s long history, an indication that the community is still well invested in coming CoD releases. Black Ops 4 will be the sixteenth main entry title in the CoD series (if including 2017\u2019s \u2018Modern Warfare Remastered\u2019, a remaster of 2007\u2032 CoD 4), and there has been concerns that the fan base, ever loyal, were becoming somewhat burned out. With much more competition in 2018 than there was say six or seven years ago, Call of Duty knows it needs to do much more to keep up with Fortnite, Overwatch and PUBG, as well as upcoming releases such as Battlefield V and Red Dead Redemption 2. But, at least for now, it seems that the strength of the Black Ops sub-franchise is enough to keep fans intrigued, as the community reveal received the highest ever viewing figures in the series\u2019 history. Last week\u2019s highly-anticipated reveal of Activision\u2019s Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 delivered a record-setting debut with its livestream setting new marks for the most watched game reveal in Call of Duty history. The reveal livestream broke franchise records, including the most day one views as well as the highest concurrent viewers, while also blanketing social media as the #1 trending topic on Twitter globally during the broadcast. Views from the reveal event have already surpassed 80 million, including the livestream, official trailers and content creator videos. Of course, it is notable that Activision are including \u2018content creator videos\u2019 in these figures, given the number of popular creators that they flew out are likely to have inflated these numbers somewhat. The blog post also claims that \u201cinitial pre-orders are also strong through week one of reveal, and above last year\u201d \u2013 so apparently, and unsurprisingly, it looks on course to perform better in sales than CoD: WWII. For more Call of Duty Black Ops 4, fans will likely have to wait until this year\u2019s E3, where we will hopefully find out more about the Blackout Battle Royale mode, the highlight of the reveal for many, but the least of which was actually shown.
