The promotion also coincides the the launch of the latest Blackout map called ‘Alcatraz’. It has long been rumoured that Blackout will go completely free to play, but it seems that Activision is only willing to go as far as a month long for now. Obviously, this is so Activision can gain more ground against the likes of Apex Legends, Fortnite and other battle royale games. Just like other battle royale games, Blackout mode lets up to 100 CoD players fight on a single map until only one remains.
