Call of Duty developers Treyarch have revealed that a major update is coming to their newly released Black Ops 4 title, along with the game’s first Double XP promo event.

In a tweet put out on October 18, it was announced that a “substantial” update to Black Ops 4 will go live on October 19, and will affect all three modes of the game – Multiplayer, Blackout, and Zombies.

“Tomorrow, we’re releasing a substantial update to Black Ops 4 with a host of improvements, fixes, and additions across all modes, including new stability for Zombies.”

The full patch notes for the game update are not expected to be released until it goes live, and the exact launch time for the patch has not yet been announced by Treyarch.
