Call of Duty Unveils Black Ops Royale for Warzone, Launching March 12

The free, permanent playlist revives Blackout’s scavenger style with BO7‑only loot and shared Warzone progression.

Overview

  • The mode goes live Thursday, March 12 at 9 p.m. PT (midnight ET March 13) as part of Season 2 Reloaded.
  • It removes loadouts, the Gulag, and Buy Stations, shifting play to ground‑loot BO7 weapon archetypes that upgrade via rarity and attachment kits.
  • Matches field 100 players in 25 squads on a reworked Avalon, with wingsuit insertion and faster traversal including the grappling hook.
  • Blackout‑style tools and perks return as swappable consumables, and players redeploy through tokens or by capturing Redeploy Towers.
  • Cradle Breaches create timed high‑risk zones with hallucinated zombies and a Mangler boss for top‑tier rewards, and an all‑new ballistics model increases bullet drop with higher‑rarity weapons boosting velocity.
