Why did Black Ops 4 not have a campaign?
Black Ops 4 did not have a traditional single-player campaign because the developers, Treyarch, chose to focus on multiplayer and Zombies modes, as well as introduce a new Battle Royale mode called Blackout, due to the pressure of meeting the annual release schedule and the rising popularity of battle royale games like Fortnite. The decision to scrap the campaign was likely made to ensure the game’s timely release and to shift the focus towards more competitive and online multiplayer experiences.
Background and Development
The development of Black Ops 4 started shortly after the release of Black Ops III, and the team initially planned to create a new ‘Career’ mode with a greater focus on multiplayer aspects, ultimately deciding to forgo a traditional campaign.
