We already know about the Battle Royale mode in Call of Duty Black Ops 4, Blackout is coming which at least one player per console compete against others in massive last-player-standing matches. According to the news it might also support more than that with split-screen gameplay being tested. Meaning a Black Ops 4 Blackout split screen with friends in a same arena, in the same room.
Black Ops 4 Blackout Split Screen
Split screen is something that Call of Duty franchise had for quite some time and with the release of Black Ops 4, Treyarch seems to be continuing the tradition including the very first Call of Duty Black Ops 4 Blackout Battle Royale. Treyarch design director David Vonderhaar said that split-screen capabilities in Blackout are something that Treyarch is testing.
When pressed beyond saying that it was simply feasible as Game Informer asked if it was likely that split-screen gameplay would be a possibility, Vonderhaar said that he didn’t know for sure yet and repeated that the team is testing it now.
If the Blackout mode does end up supporting two players per console in a split-screen fashion, those players would be two of 80 players that would be in the battle royale mode. This is the number Treyarch said would be supported in Blackout during another talk with Game Informer, at least during the beta that’s going live soon.
Treyarch’s co-studio head Dan Bunting said that the team has tested more than 80 players at times but said that the goal right now is to not sacrifice quality just to fit more players into the game.
