The Blackout beta for Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII will begin on September 10 on PlayStation 4 with other platforms to follow, publisher Activision and developer Treyarch announced.

As previously detailed, Blackout is a new battle royale-style mode featuring classic playable characters from previous Black Ops games on a “colossal map” that features locations inspired by fan-favorite Black Ops multiplayer maps, including areas from Nuketown and Firing Range. Classic weapons with different ammo types and equipment will be available on the map for players to loot and scavenge. Players will also find and drive land, sea, and air vehicles.

Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII is due out for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 12.
