Activision has confirmed, unlike with recent series instalments, there will be no campaign early access available for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Gearing up for the end of the year and leading up to the holiday season, there are a few long-awaited sequels among the fall's video game releases. One studio takes a crack at remastering a classic horror game, while the makers of "Call of Duty" and "Assassin's Creed" push past controversy to deliver another entry in each of their franchises.

Speaking of early access to the game, a massive two-weekend beta just wrapped up for the multiplayer portion of Black Ops 6 - a beta that developer Treyarch now says is "the biggest Call of Duty beta ever". We're not surprised by that, given that the whole thing was playable on Xbox Game Pass; even the early access portion.

Activision to break tradition by not offering early campaign access of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 to pre-orders before the game launches on October 25.

Activision has released campaign early access for those who pre-ordered recent Call of Duty games, including last year's poorly received Modern Warfare 3 campaign. The early access periods generally began a week before the full launch, offering fans the chance to play through the story so they can hit Multiplayer and Zombies right off the bat.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 won't launch until Oct. 25, but you can get access to the game right now. If you missed the first round of open beta, which closed Sept. 4, the second open beta runs until 10 a.m. PT on Monday, Sept. 9.
