When it comes to long-standing video game franchises, Call of Duty is toward the top of the list. This is especially true for the first-person shooter genre. Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is the latest title in the series, bringing with itnew maps, fresh content, and much more. Treyarch even introduced their very own battle royale mode called Blackout, and they’ve got even more in store for the players coming soon.

Despite the presence of solo, duo, and quad games, players felt like there was something amiss. So, starting next week, Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 will launch custom games to Blackout. On the official Reddit forum, the studio’s announcement says:

Blackout Custom Games will allow players to drop into their own private match to explore the map, visit destinations at their own pace, and practice Black Ops 4’s battle royale experience with teams of friends. As a starting point, Custom Games in Blackout will be introduced with a maximum player count of 12. As with all features in Black Ops 4, this will evolve over time as we evaluate how players are engaging with the system, and that includes increasing player count and expanding feature support.”

Available for solos, duos, and quads, each custom Blackout match can have up to 12 players. There will be full support for weapon camo and full character customization. However, this feature is only available only to ensure “each custom game is up-to-date.” That’s pretty awesome news to hear if you’re tired of the same old randoms on your or the other teams, or you’re just looking to switch things up a bit. Either way, Blackout custom games launch next week, so have at! For more on the upcoming update, check out Reyarch’s Reddit post here.
