‘What is it fans are gonna love the most?’
We finally got ourconfirmationof the lack of a single-player campaign inBlack Ops 4today. While I’m not surprised, it seems like Activision isn’t quite committed to the “removal” of the mode. In an interview withDaily Star Onlineat theevent today, Treyarch senior producer Yale Miller said, “[The single player mode] is only missing at this moment in time.”
He then continued, “I really think with every game we make, we finish that title and then we ask ‘what is it fans are gonna love the most?’ If that’s another traditional campaign, then we’ll make another traditional campaign.” While this could be referring to the feature returning toBlack Ops 4at some future point, Miller’s follow up answers seem to point to it not exitingCall of Dutyas a whole.
“In terms of the future of the franchise, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer are their own awesome teams,” Miller elaborated. “They’re doing their own thing. And I have no idea what they’re doing! They couldn’t, for example, make Blackout… because that’s just quintessentiallyBlack Ops, you know?” Miller then stressed that he is a big fan of narrative driven games, but acknowledged it was the right decision to focus exclusive on multiplayer forBlack Ops 4.
I’m not quite sure what to make of all of this. The reveal event kept stressing thatBlack Ops 4would be a game built to last for years, so if battle royale is limited exclusively to theBlack Opsname, those words would suddenly make sense. Have Treyarch build your mega foundation to fall back on in between Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer creating the more traditional single-player games. That could work.
