News: Get a free taste of Call of Duty’s version of Battle Royale throughout the month of April with progress carrying over if you buy the game.

Call of Duty: Black Ops IIII Blackout is free to play right now through the month of April. For those who don’t know, the Blackout mode is Call of Duty’s Battle Royale mode and now you can play it and test it out and see whether or not you want to buy the game itself. It should go without saying but during this free trial period you will not have access to the standard multiplayer suite or the different Zombies campaigns.

Blackout Free Access features all the intense action from Black Ops 4’s battle royale game mode, with both the original Blackout map that brings together characters, locations, weapons and gear from across the series, all in the biggest map in franchise history, as well as the brand-new Alcatraz map (Alcatraz map live today on PS4 with other platforms to follow).

During the Free Access window, fans will be matchmade with all Blackout players, and be able to play in solos, duos, and quads. All progression made will be saved and transferred if players choose to upgrade to a full version of the game.

Check out the trailer below for the Blackout mode and tell us what you think. Will you try it out during this free trial period?
