Another year, another Call of Duty game - and one everyone in the office is glued to thanks to Black Ops 4's take on the Battle Royale genre. Sounds like a good excuse for a Eurogamer Podcast! (Or shall we say 'CoDcast'! No?)

This week sees host Matthew Reynolds joined by battle royale newcomer Wesley Yin-Poole, Fortnite expert Emma Kent and Digital Foundry's Tom Morgan to discuss whether Blackout makes for a worthwhile single-player replacement.

We also cover the various improvements over the beta, surprise inclusion of split-screen, and where Call of Duty goes from here. Plus, our favourite feature of all - crashing through every window we can find.
