Treyarch has confirmed that the next Limited Time Mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will indeed be called Ambush, as previously leaked on Reddit.
The developer revealed in a fresh post that Ambush features only sniper rifles and melee weapons, although it won’t be released until Down But Not Out has wrapped. This mode features respawning and is still live, so get stuck in.
‘It’s true, Ambush is coming soon in Blackout as our next limited-time mode in Blackout—just not quite yet! Down But Not Out will be live for a couple of weeks on each platform, which started on PS4 earlier this week. We’re planning to launch Ambush into the wild immediately afterward, so enjoy the insanity of DBNO while it’s live and let us know what you think of the redeploy system while we put the finishing touches on what’s to come.’
That’s about all there is to know right now on Ambush, though we’ll keep you in the loop.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 was released on PlayStation 4, PC, and Xbox One back in October, and Josh had mostly positive things to say about it in his review.
The game is notable for eschewing a regular campaign in favour of a full multiplayer assault, which includes your standard online shenanigans, Zombies, and of course Blackout. Speaking of the latter, there’s a free trial currently available until January 24.
