It looks like Call of Duty: Black Ops 4's battle royale mode Blackout is getting ready to add a fan-favorite character. Following the game's most recent patch on PlayStation 4, players of the game have reportedly been seeing The Replacer featured on the main menu screen.

It looks obvious that The Replacer is being added to the game, but at the moment it's impossible to know in what capacity. And for the moment, both Activision and Treyarch have declined to comment on the development,
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. At the moment of publishing, there's been no word of a Nintendo Switch port, which seems unlikely at this point.
