Activision has announced yet another free trial of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Multiplayer and Zombies, which just so happens to launch as EA releases its Battlefield battle royale, REDSEC.
Yesterday, October 27, was a big day for first-person shooter fans. EA finally confirmed a shadowdrop for the Battlefield battle royale, dubbed REDSEC, which is set to go live today, October 28, at 8am PT / 11am ET.
Then, later yesterday, Activision announced Black Ops 6 Multiplayer and Zombies will go free starting today and run until November 3.

Is Activision trying to spoil EA’s fun here? Fans are certainly debating the timing of the free trial and its clash with Battlefield’s big moment. Some are suggesting it’s nothing more than a pre-planned trial to coincide with Halloween (Black Ops 6 does have a Halloween update). But it’s hard to get away from the sense that there’s more going on here. After all, Activision only last month released a significant Black Ops 6 free trial the day before the Battlefield 6
