Blackout mode for Call of Duty®: Black Ops 4 is getting a free trial on Blizzard Battle.net®. Players can play the game’s wildly popular battle royale mode free through the Blizzard Battle.net desktop app from 19:00 CET on January 17 until 19:00 CET on January 24.

The free trial features all the latest Blackout map updates, including the Hijacked drop zone.

Free trial players will also be able to transfer their progress once they upgrade to the full version of the game.

Blackout is Black Ops 4’s take on battle royale, bringing together the franchise’s classic characters, gear, locations, vehicles – and Zombies – all on the largest map in Call of Duty history. Blackout features new and classic playable characters; air, land, and sea vehicles; and the series’ tight, tactical gameplay for a distinct battle royale experience that only Black Ops can deliver.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 is available now on Battle.net through the Blizzard Shop or via the Blizzard Battle.net desktop app.
