In today’s day and age, it’s not unusual for games and services to godown for maintenance. Online centric games go down all the time to allow developers to go in and make changes to the game. One series that goes usually doesn’t do this, however, is theCall of Dutyfranchise, which is why it was odd when, yesterday, Treyarch announced that it was takingCall of Duty: Black Ops 4offline temporarily while it performed maintenance on Monday.
Treyarch announced the news via Twitter yesterday, much to the confusion of fans. This is seemingly one of the first times thatCall of Duty: Black Ops 4has had scheduled maintenance in a very long time and given the randomness of it, some fans of suspicious as to what Treyarch might be doing.

Unfortunately, no specific details about the maintenance were given, other than the fact that it’ll be running for a half an hour from 2:00 am to 2:30 am PDT (5:00 am to 5:30 am EDT) on June 22, 2025. We have no official idea of whether or not this will be focusing on the game’s multiplayer mode,Blackout mode, or zombies mode or if it’s just general fixes for the game’s servers. That hasn’t stopped fans from speculating about the maintenance, however.
Given the fact that fans haven’t heard a word aboutCall of Duty2020, which isrumored to be titledCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War,some are speculating that this maintenance has something to do with a possible reveal for the game. Considering the game is rumored to be primarily developed by Treyarch, with Sledgehammer Games and Raven Software in supporting roles, this would make a bit of sense. Teasing the new year’s game in the previous year’s title is nothing new forCall of Duty, so it wouldn’t be surprising for Treyarch to add some sort of teaser toCall of Duty: Black Ops 4.
This also lines up with the rumor thatCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris set to get a full reveal at thePlayStation 5 reveal eventon Thursday, August 11, 2025. If Treyarch putting small nuggets and teasers within the game, which fans would then speculate about all the way up until the reveal, that would give the developer a ton of advantages when it comes to hype. Of course, this is all pure speculation and only time will tell if the fans are right about this one.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 4is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows PC.
