Interested in Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout battle royale mode, but don’t really feel like shelling out for the rest of the game? Well, you’re in luck, as a Blackout will soon be free-to-play for a full week! You can check out a quick trailer for the free week, below.

　　The Blackout trial kicks off this Thursday (January 17) and will continue until January 24. The trial will only feature Blackout – Black Ops 4’s Zombies and traditional Multiplayer modes won’t be included. If you enjoy Blackout and would like to buy it permanently, you can get a bit of a deal by purchasing the $30 Black Ops 4 Battle Edition, which only includes Blackout and Multiplayer (no Zombies).

　　But maybe Zombies mode is what you’re into? Well, there’s good news for you, too! This week Treyarch is kicking off the “115 Day” event, which includes double XP and new Gauntlets challenges. You can get more details, below.

　　January 15, aka 115 Day – a nod to the notorious Element 115 from Call of Duty Zombies lore, which holds a special place in our hearts.

　　Double XP

　　How about some Zombies 2XP to kick things off? Zombies players earn 2XP, 2X Weapon XP, and 2X Nebulium Plasma on all platforms! Get out there and slay to your heart’s content, because we’ve been working on some new Elixirs and bundles to brew up with all that newfound Nebulium.
