Could the Call of Duty: Blackout beta be returning? [UPDATED] Update: Unfortunately, it has been confirmed that the Blackout beta will not be returning anytime before Black Ops 4\u2019s launch on October 12. Rumors are circulating that the massively popular Call of Duty: Blackout beta could be making a return on Thursday, September 20, based on hints given by some popular streamers. The Blackout beta was live between September 10 and September 17, and gave players a chance to get their hands on the brand new battle royale mode that will be making its debut in Black Ops 4. The beta was a massive success, with fans and streamers alike saying how impressed they were. Now, it seems like a couple of major Twitch streamers may be dropping hints that we haven\u2019t seen the last of Blackout before Black Ops 4 officially releases on October 12. All of the streamers who have hinted at the return of the beta are involved in the \u2018Doritos Bowl\u2019, a Blackout event being held at Twitchcon on October 27. While this doesn\u2019t confirm that the beta is returning, it could perhaps add some legitimacy to the rumours. Shroud was playing PlayerUnknown\u2019s Battlegrounds with fellow streamer Chad Goff on September 19 when he said \u201cBlackout tomorrow, woo!\u201d before quickly backtracking by repeating \u201cNo, no.\u201d while Chad questioned the statement. Elsewhere, rock band Avenged Sevenfold announced on Twitter that the new music video for their song \u2018Mad Hatter\u2019 would be exclusively premiering on Dr. DisRespect\u2019s stream on September 20. While this would line up with Shroud\u2019s comment, it\u2019s worth noting that \u2018Mad Hatter\u2019 was made specifically for Black Ops 4s Zombies mode, and the Doc is also set to host a PUBG tournament on the same day. Another popular streamer in the form of Jake \u201cChocoTaco\u201d Throop dropped a hint recently that he didn\u2019t think fans had seen the last of the Blackout beta. When a fan in his chat stated \u201cThis is it, no more betas,\u201d the Chicago native replied by saying \u201cUh, Just wait and see about that, I would say\u201d. Of course, all of these hints are far from concrete, and we may not see the return of the Blackout beta before the mode launches with the full Black Ops 4 game on October 12. There has been no official announcement from Treyarch or Activision regarding the beta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
