Free Black Ops 6 Gameplay Trial Is Coming This Month, Provides Access To Zombies And Multiplayer

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 has enjoyed a positive reception since its launch in October, due in no small part to the amount of high-quality content regularly being added to the game. Its latest update includes a holiday-themed Nuketown map makeover and a "stoner DLC" is confirmed to be in the pipeline, to name just a few of the game's entertaining new features. But Activision also has a gift for those who have yet to take a plunge into the franchise's latest entry: free (temporary) access to the game.

According to a new post on the official Call of Duty blog, players will be able to try out Black Ops 6's Multiplayer and Zombies modes--free of charge--for a limited time starting on December 13. For players who are on the fence about purchasing the game, the trial period provides the perfect chance to give it a try with no strings attached.

During the free trial, players will have access to the following features:

Multiplayer

Maps

• Racket map
• Hacienda map
• Nuketown Holiday map
• Extraction map
• Hideout map
• Heirloom map

Modes

• TDM mode
• Hardpoint mode
• Domination mode
• Kill Confirmed Mode
• Kill Order Mode
• Prop Hunt Mode

Zombies

• Liberty Falls (Standard mode)
• Liberty Falls (Directed mode)
• Terminus (Standard mode)
• Terminus (Directed mode)

Directed mode is a new mode intended to give players who are unfamiliar with Call of Duty (or are just a little rusty) a helping hand, guiding them through gameplay until they're ready to take on Standard mode unassisted. The addition of Directed mode makes the Black Ops 6 Multiplayer/Zombies free trial a perfect opportunity to get a feel for the game without having to commit to its price tag. But interested players will want to plan ahead, as the free trial only runs from December 13 - 20.
