CoD BO6 early access: Why is there no Campaign early access this year?
Black Ops 6 will not have any early access, with the publisher wanting single-player, Multiplayer and Zombies to release at the same time.
A statement from Activision to CharlieINTEL sheds more light on the lack of early access:
"The team is fully focused on 25th October. We are excited about all the game has to offer across Campaign, Multiplayer and Zombies.
"This year, we made the decision to ensure the community gets to dig into any and all modes that they want at the same time, so we are back to one massive global launch moment on 25th October.
"As such, there is no early access beat this year for Black Ops 6, just the countdown to launch."
This may be frustrating if you planned on completing the campaign before diving into Multiplayer. Now, you'll have to balance your time across all three modes.
