Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War exclusive Onslaught mode to launch on all platforms

With but days until the launch of Call of Duty: Vanguard, Treyarch appear in a tweet that Nov. 1, 2022 is the final day for the exclusivity agreement surrounding Onslaught and its sister way, Onslaught Containment. The newly unlocked modes volition launch as role of an update for Call of Duty: Blackness Ops Common cold War on Nov. 2 at nine p.m. PT for all platforms.

Onslaught will launch on Xbox and PC with 23 maps. The update is too expected to introduce the Hammer & Sickle melee weapons as one of Cold State of war'south final store bundles, and new 100 percenter challenges.

Despite Call of Duty's condition as a multiplatform juggernaut, the premium releases from the franchise are no strangers to timed exclusivity deals.

That inverse with the release of 2022's Modern Warfare reboot, when Infinity Ward locked away a Survival playlist for their cooperative Spec Ops mode behind PlayStation exclusivity for an entire year. Call of Duty cycles annually with the franchise'south premium releases, meaning a expert portion of the thespian base would move on from Modernistic Warfare to 2022'due south Black Ops Common cold War release less than 2 months later on gaining access to Spec Ops Survival.

Continuing the trend of exclusive modes, Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War sliced off a mode from their wildly popular Zombies segment to create the Onslaught manner for PlayStation players only. Unlike typical circular based zombies gameplay that took place on maps designed specifically for the mode, Onslaught brought traditional multiplayer only maps into Zombies. Players band together as a squad to eliminate an countless swarm of the undead along with occasionally spawns of elites zombies, while their mobility is limited to a zone of protection courtesy of a Night Aether orb. Like to Spec Ops Survival, Onslaught has been limited to Playstation exclusivity for a twelvemonth.
