While we wait for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7, Activision has announced that Black Ops 6 is now free-to-play for a limited time.
In a social media post on October 27, it was confirmed that the next Black Ops 6 free trial will be available for a short period ahead of the launch of the next Call of Duty title on November 14.
Starting today (October 28) through to November 3, Black Ops 6‘s Multiplayer and Zombies modes will be available to play for free, at no extra cost.
During this period, players will have access to the ongoing Halloween-themed event: The Haunting, where they can experience the new Rig map and Boo-Town variant map, as well as Slasher Deathmatch and Haunted Havoc modes.
In Multiplayer, 40+ maps, like Gravity and Mothball, and more than 10 modes will be available to play. Meanwhile, Zombies will offer six maps (Directed Mode), including Liberty Falls, Terminus, The Tomb, Citadelle Des Morts, Shattered Veil, and Reckoning.
