Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is launching its latest event, Operation Apocalypse Z, on July 9. This is in addition to the upcoming Alpa Omega story. There is also some newly-upgraded hardware courtesy of Broken Arrow.
As the date of the new operation draws near, Black Ops 4 is also bringing back two fan-favorite playlists. The first is Hardcore Duos in Blackout, and the second is Bolt-Action Barebones for Multiplayer. Alcatraz also makes a comeback in Blackout, but with Operation Apocalypse Z coming, offers a rather dark twist.
