Across the Game

The newest community event and seasonal release for Call of
Duty®: Black Ops 4 is available now on
Playstation®4, with other platforms to follow. Operation
Spectre Rising delivers assassin-themed updates across the
game, including a beloved Specialist, big changes to Blackout, new
game modes and personalization items, as well as adding three
Multiplayer maps and a special summer-themed event.
“The community has anticipated Spectre’s return for a long time,
and that’s inspired us to build Operation Spectre Rising all
around this shadowy, fan-favorite assassin and the wetworks theme,”
said Dan Bunting, Co-Studio Head, Treyarch. “This new Operation
delivers lots of new game modes and fun ways to play Black Ops 4,
including some really cool changes to the Blackout map
following Spectre’s dramatic introduction – players won’t want to
miss this event!”
Operation Spectre Rising’s free, new content
includes:
- The Assassin Specialist –
Available in Multiplayer and Blackout, Spectre introduces a new
gameplay innovation with a unique Shadow Blade melee weapon, and
channels players’ inner assassin to skillfully strike targeted
enemies for quick and stealthy kills. This fan-favorite Specialist
also wields a smoke grenade that not only provides instant cover to
move undetected, but also reveals enemies.
- New Blackout Updates – In
Blackout, Spectre has ruptured the famous Hydro Dam causing a
massive flood, altering the landscape and forcing players to adapt
in order to survive a wide variety of combat situations, while
outrunning the Collapse. Additionally, players will have the
opportunity to discover updates in Alcatraz like the addition of
the Tactical Raft and more.
- New Black Market Gear – The
Black Market has been restocked with a variety of new weapon camos,
outfits, gestures, and accessories themed for Operation Spectre
Rising. This includes notable weapons like the Tigershark LMG
and the Nifo’Oti melee weapon, all unlockable through the
Contraband Tiers as fans play through the game.
- New Zombies Features –
Operation Spectre Rising introduces new weapons across all
Zombies maps, Classic Elixir Restock feature, and Hard Mode
Gauntlet challenges throughout the season.
In addition to the free content, Black Ops Pass owners gain
access to even more in-game content, available first on
PlayStation®4:
- New Multiplayer Map, Masquerade
– A medium-sized map set amidst an embassy under siege. Masquerade
is structured for mid-range combat as players must weave through
markets and city alleyways to get to the fortified embassy
courtyard.
- New Multiplayer Map, Artifact –
A larger-sized map set in a remote landscape where treasure hunters
have located and unearthed an ancient artifact. The map is filled
with a variety of rock formations from thermal geysers to ice
caverns. Combat is fierce with engagement ranging across
environmental hazards on a vertical map.
- New Multiplayer Map, WMD –
Remastered from the original Call of Duty: Black Ops, WMD is a
medium-sized map set in an active weapons manufacturing facility.
Combat takes place in a combination of interior and exterior
engagements at different ranges that supports all types of weapon
types and playstyles.
- New Blackout Character, Uncle
Frank – Black Ops Pass owners get instant access to Uncle
Frank, also known as the older version of Frank Woods. This iconic,
fan-favorite character originally from Call of Duty: Black Ops II
makes his debut in Blackout.
“The team has worked hard to offer a real diversity of content
with Operation Spectre Rising, while providing a thoughtful
cadence that keeps the experience fresh across the entire breadth
of the game,” said Mark Gordon, Co-Studio Head of Treyarch. “From
Spectre debuting in Multiplayer and Blackout, to design
modifications that will allow us to share content on a more regular
basis, Operation Spectre Rising really shifts this season
into a higher gear.”
In addition to the content releasing now with Operation
Spectre Rising, spring turns into summer in June with the
annual Call of Duty Days of Summer community event. This
limited-time event will debut new game modes, seasonal themed
customizations and accessories for fans to acquire.
