BO6 and Warzone ongoing events in 2025

At the time of writing, the following events are active in Black Ops 6 and Warzone:

  • Black Ops 6 Free Trial
  • Warzone’s Return to Verdansk

The Free Trial event gives players free access to Multiplayer and Zombies for a limited time. If you are on the fence about buying BO6, use this time to test it out. You’ll have access to Season 3 Premium content, the Firing Range MP map, and the Zombies Shattered Veil map. This event will conclude by April 11, so be sure to check it out while it lasts.

Warzone players can also tune into the Return to Verdansk event. Go back to the golden age of Warzone with the return of the mode’s first-ever Battle Royale map. Event-only zones will be available, allowing you to earn exclusive rewards. Locate iconic points of interest, open hidden safes, and take down enemy Operators to unlock higher gift tiers. You can also earn rewards just by logging into Warzone.
