by Rainier on Feb. 5, 2025 @ 2:12 p.m. PST

Black Ops returns with an epic, gripping story and mind-bending blockbuster action in the most treacherous plot yet with Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.

Set in the '90s, this new experience delivers the most breathtaking and spectacular Black Ops action until now, where players have to question everything and trust no one. The truth lies. 

The Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 campaign features dynamic moment-to-moment gameplay, featuring different mission styles with spectacular action-packed set pieces, high-stakes heists and high-secret espionage activities. In a premier multiplayer experience, players can test their skills on 16 new maps at launch, including 12 6v6 core maps and four Strike maps that can be played in 2v2 or 6v6. 

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 also marks the epic return of Round-Based Zombies, the fan-favorite mode that sees players slay hordes of the undead in two brand new maps at launch. After launch, players can look forward to even more exciting maps and new gameplay experiences in both Multiplayer and Zombies.

Play Multiplayer and Zombies in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 for free between February 6 and February 10. Play select* Season 02 Multiplayer maps, the new Overdrive game mode, and more. In Zombies, enter The Tomb if you dare, and head to Liberty Falls, including its Directed Mode featuring a guided Main Quest so you don’t miss a beat.

For a limited time from February 6 through February 10, play Multiplayer and Zombies in Call of Duty®: Black Ops 6 during the Free Trial period, including select content released with the launch of Season 02.

In Multiplayer, drop into new maps like Bounty and Dealership and keep the streak going in the new Overdrive mode. Plus, play fan-favorite maps with Nuketown 24/7, Stakeout 24/7, and more.

In Zombies, continue the terrifying narrative in Season 02’s newest map, The Tomb, and head to the once idyllic West Virginian town of Liberty Falls, including its Directed Mode featuring objective markers guiding players through the entire Main Quest.

New Season 02 Multiplayer Maps

Bounty (6v6): Ascend to the top an Avalon skyscraper at sunrise, battling through the Riviera Rouge where rich clientele rub shoulders in the gilded Nightclub and Lounge, including V.I.P. access for the cream of the crop.

Fight through the Lobby to reach the rear Office, currently under construction with building tools and materials littered across the floor. Head out to the Rooftop for a breath of fresh air and surprise your enemies by running around the building’s outer perimeter. Watch your step when moving over the Skylight — if the glass gets shot out from under your feet, it’s a long drop to the bottom.

Dealership (6v6): Plant your feet firmly back on the ground floor in the luxurious Pallasar Dealership, a black-market front for the criminal underworld where deals are made for guns, ammunition, and other favors.

Engage the enemy around the wreckage in the Car Lot and Showroom, pressing the fight into the interior Sales room and Commissary. In the back, activate the sliding doors on either side of the Garage, and get above the action by taking up a vantage point in the Admin office. Race to the enemy by steering an RC-XD through the floor vent and detonating right under their feet.

Lifeline (2v2/6v6): Hit the high seas on this new Strike map taking place on a small, high-end yacht that’s been set ablaze by Sev and her Rogue team allies during a daring escape. Chaos ensues as Operators collide in the center Bar and gambling den and along the tight steps on Portside and Starboard. Keep up the pressure and check your six as threats close in from every side.

Play the New Overdrive Mode

Get a taste of the brand-new Overdrive mode introduced in Season 02. This heart-pumping twist on Team Deathmatch sees teams competing to earn stars by accomplishing the following actions: 

  • Earn 1 star for Basic Eliminations like finishing off an enemy with body shots.
  • Earn 2 stars for Core Medal Eliminations like headshots and melee attacks.
  • Earn 3 stars for completing Distinguished Medal Eliminations, reserved for only the most impressive takedowns.

Earning stars also grants special Operator abilities to help you in the fight, including the following buffs:

  • 1 Star: Awakened Senses: See enemies through walls and replenish your health after eliminating a target.
  • 3 Stars: Physical Enhancements: Increased movement and reloading speed.
  • 6 Stars: Augmented Handling: Improved hip-fire accuracy and improved sprint-to-fire and ADS speeds.

Earn all three buffs to active Overdrive, earning double the stars when eliminating enemies. If you get eliminated, or the elimination timer runs out, you’ll start back at your base abilities. The first team to collect the maximum number of stars wins.

Enter The Tomb and More in Zombies

The Tomb: Gear up and deploy to The Tomb, a brand-new Zombies map introduced in Season 02. Take the amulet secured at the Citadel to a cursed excavation site and the ancient catacombs within. Reports of paranormal phenomena go back centuries, possibly related to the presence of the Sentinel Artifact.

In this epic new adventure, follow in the footsteps of a doomed explorer and uncover a long-forgotten dig site with a past that stretches back to ancient times.

Liberty Falls: Explore the once-idyllic West Virginian town of Liberty Falls, whose residents have either fled or barricaded themselves into the settlement in a last desperate attempt to survive. By the time you arrive — under the watchful eye of Project Janus Security Chief John Blanchard — the town is overrun, and the battle seems well and truly lost.

The Free Trial period also includes Directed Mode for Liberty Falls. For players who want to follow the Zombies stories with a guiding hand, Directed Mode marks all objectives with a maximum round cap of 15. This is perfect for new players and those who want to focus solely on the map’s narrative elements.
