Update: Moments after this article published, Treyarch announced a tournament with the same name, suggesting that “Blackout After Dark” isn’t a new mode, even if it’s being advertised as such in Blackout’s playlist.

It appears Treyarch is either teasing a brand-new mode for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 mode or someone at the studio accidentally pushed a button early, because a new playlist has been added to the game’s battle royale portion, Blackout, that hasn’t yet been announced. More specfically, a new playlist dubbed “Blackout After Dark” has been added to Blackout under the Featured list on PS4, but at the moment, it’s locked.
If you’re on PS4, you can see the new mode right under the current Featured mode, which is Hardcore Quads. What the mode is precisely, who knows, but it is likely the new mode Treyarch has teased here and there since the launch of Operation Grand Heist. That said, at the moment no details have been shared on the mode, but if the title is any indication, that could change soon when the sun goes down. In the meanwhile, fan speculation is currently rife.

When they put night time into a game I want it to be pitch black and you need tactical lights and nightvision and stuff to at more depth to the whole โafter darkโ concept

For everyone in the comments that doesnโt seem to know. The CWL hosted a mini-tournament during pro league downtime called โblackout after darkโ which was a bracket for the pro players to play in. Not sure if itโll be related to that or not

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is available for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. At the moment of publishing, there’s been no word of a Nintendo Switch port, which seems very unlikely at this point.

Thanks, Charlie Intel.
