Take that, Redsec?
Call of Duty Warzone Black Ops Royale is being billed by Activision Blizzard as an “evolution of Blackout,” and surely meant as a competitor to Battlefield 6‘s Redsec.
Activision Blizzard calls the mode “an original Blackout-inspired Battle Royale with no Loadouts, no Gulag, and no Buy Stations. Wingsuit in, scavenge to survive, upgrade weapons through rarity, master Cradle Breaches, and outlast 24 rival squads on Avalon’s massive map.”
The new mode goes live over 13 March here in Australia.
“This is a free-to-play Battle Royale experience with new rules influenced by the original Blackout: Black Ops Royale is on a new map with gameplay that rewards scavenging for greater gear and eventual domination of all rival squads,” Activision Blizzard continued.
“There are clear influences from the core Blackout experience — like bullet drop and weapon handling, as well as the armor system and use of the Trauma Kit — capturing the Blackout pacing, traversal, and combat feel in a modern way. This isn’t a remake; it’s a unique experience that pays homage to the Blackout core gameplay while keeping the flow of a match feeling right for Call of Duty: Warzone players.”
Call of Duty Warzone is free-to-play and available on Windows PC via Steam and Battle.net, alongside PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.
