It’s Black Friday 2018 weekend, so the delicious food has been replaced with hot deals and discounts. One of the best offers this year is for Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the latest game in the unstoppable shooter series. In addition to featuring the traditional multiplayer and zombies modes, Treyarch’s newest entry debuted the franchise’s first jump into the battle royale craze with Blackout, which is among the game’s most well-received offerings.
We first saw Black Ops 4 pop up in the Target ad for $45, but it turns out it won’t have the cheapest way to buy the game. Best Buy ($45) and PlayStation Store ($48) have also discounted the game. Currently GameStop has it priced at $38–although you have to go into a physical store to get that deal. Walmart has undercut GameStop so you could buy it for $37 on both PS4 and Xbox One, although that price has since jumped up to $39, which is still a great deal.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is no doubt one of the more experimental entries in recent years, yet it still offered a satisfying package to dive into. While last year’s World War II was well received, Black Ops 4 offered a larger focus on giving players new ways to experience COD gameplay across its key gameplay pillars, which includes multiplayer, zombies–featuring multiple storylines and levels–the new Blackout battle royale game type, and a light story mode focusing on each of the playable Specialists.
Reviews editor Kallie Plagge gave the game an 8 in our review of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and stated: “Black Ops 4 isn’t short on content, and its three main modes are substantial. Multiplayer introduces more tactical mechanics without forcing you into them, and it largely strikes a good balance. Zombies has multiple deep, secret-filled maps to explore, though its returning characters don’t hold up and prove distracting. Finally, Blackout pushes Call of Duty in an entirely new direction, making use of aspects from both multiplayer and Zombies for a take on the battle royale genre that stands on its own. Sure, there isn’t a traditional single-player campaign, but with the depth and breadth of what is there, Black Ops 4 doesn’t need it.”
Here are the links to the deals you can find on Target, and we’ll update this post with any other deals that come in from other retailers. If you’re at all curious about World War II, there is also a planned Target deal for Call of Duty: WWII as well for $25.
