Activision today confirmed that the next Call of Duty title will be Black Ops 4.

Mark your calendars: This year's addition to the franchise is slated to launch globally on Friday, Oct. 12 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Though rumors of a Nintendo Switch version have been swirling, Activision didn't say anything about the hybrid gaming system in its announcement.
