The next major content drop for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 arrives on Monday, September 23 on PlayStation 4 with the launch of Operation Dark Divide for the game. The new Operation will bring new content to MP, Zombies, and Blackout, including the last Black Ops Pass content drop for the game.

FROM TREYARCH:

Operation Dark Divide Launches Sept. 23 on PS4

The sixth Operation of Black Ops 4 arrives Monday on PS4 with Operation Dark Divide, our upcoming superheroes vs. villains-themed season packed with all-new game content and customization gear, as well as our final two Black Ops Pass Multiplayer maps and the conclusion of the Black Ops 4 Zombies Aether story, “Tag der Toten”.

We can’t wait to share all the details in next week’s studio broadcast, where we’ll have world premiere gameplay footage of our upcoming Multiplayer maps, a walkthrough of our insane new Blackout experience, and of course, plenty to cover on the finale of Black Ops 4 Zombies with the dev team… along with a message from some very special guests. Stay tuned for more intel on Monday.

Jungle Flooded Now in Rotation on PS4

Our final major update of Operation Apocalypse Z is live today, including Jungle Flooded on PS4, environment updates for both the main map and Alcatraz in Blackout, Havelina AA50 weapon tuning, Stockpile’s return to Multiplayer, Ground War in Blackout, and Zombies gameplay improvements.

Jungle Flooded is our new free alt-weather map variant in Black Ops 4. We’re bringing unique gameplay elements to the Black Ops fan-favorite map with this one, including traversable water and an underwater capture point in Domination – and like Contraband Hurricane, additional light weather elements give this map a unique feel without affecting player visibility.

Jungle Flooded is now live in rotation starting today on PS4, and Arsenal Sandstorm has been shifted out of the map selection based on community feedback. Jump into a match and let us know what you think!

Blackout Map Environment Updates

As we close out the final days of Operation Apocalypse Z, the zombies have started their retreat and the apocalypse has ended in Blackout, bringing daylight back to both the main map and Alcatraz on all platforms. Players can expect new daytime lighting and brightness levels on the main map, and the return of the original afternoon environment in Alcatraz with this update.

Havelina AA50 Weapon Tuning

Today’s update includes two tuning changes for the Havelina AA50 sniper rifle: we’ve removed aim assist to require more precision for each EKIA, and corrected the damage values for the High Caliber II attachment. We’re also aware of an existing issue with paintjobs not showing up properly on the Havelina AA50, which should be fixed in a future update.

Stockpile and Ground War This Week

We’re bringing Stockpile to Multiplayer and Ground War back to Blackout this week on all platforms before we kick off Operation Dark Divide. Although we originally planned to bring Pandemic back to Blackout this week, we heard the community’s requests for more Ground War and made the call to swap it in for the last run of this Operation. Squad up and enjoy, and watch for more details soon on our newest limited-time mode in Blackout coming in our next Operation.Zombies Gameplay Improvements

This update delivers new gameplay improvements for Zombies players, including an increased ammo count for the M16 and multiple fixes for Hellhound spawning logic and their visual FX. Note: Today’s update also introduces a known issue that will incorrectly display blood vials on Primis Richtofen’s in-game character model when playing “Alpha Omega”, which is planned to be fixed in a future update along with an issue preventing Diamond Camo for the Hellion Salvo from properly unlocking.

Keep an eye out for more info on Zombies content coming in our next Operation, including the conclusion to the Black Ops 4 Aether story next week on PS4. Speaking of which…“Tag der Toten” Arrives Monday on PS4

We’re less than a week away from the launch of “Tag der Toten” on PS4, and we can’t wait to get the map into the community’s hands. As mentioned above, we’ll have plenty of details from the team before launch to prepare you for what awaits at the end of the Black Ops 4 Zombies Aether story. Stay tuned later this week for the announcement of Monday’s Operation Dark Divide studio broadcast.

With yesterday’s reveal of the official poster art and some other interesting bits of intel, you might think we’d stay quiet until Monday’s launch. But then, where’s the fun in that…?
