  • Activision confirmed a November 14, 2025 release across consoles and PC, with an open multiplayer beta set for October 2–8 and early access for pre-orders and Game Pass subscribers.
  • The campaign supports up to four players and culminates in a replayable 32‑player Endgame experience designed for ongoing runs and progression.
  • Multiplayer expands Omnimovement with wallrunning, wingsuits, and grappling hooks, launches with 16 6v6 maps plus two large‑scale battlegrounds, adds a 20v20 Skirmish mode, and brings back Round‑Based Zombies and Dead Ops Arcade 4.
