Activision seems to be really keen on promoting the new premium battle pass for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 named BlackCell.
Introduced with the recently released Season 03, this new premium battle pass costs $29.99 and it includes a special operator, a bunch of COD points, its own Battle Pass sector, and a bunch of additional goodies and skins.
While it already received a dedicated trailer a few days ago, apparently someone at Activision feels that we did not get the memo, so they have launched another, this time promising to share “everything you need to know about BlackCell.”
In case you need the explainer, or if you’re actually on the fence, you can watch the trailer below, I suppose.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is currently available for PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and Xbox One. Warzone 2.0 is its free-to-play battle royale spin-off and it’s available for the same platforms.
If you’d like to see more of the new season that just launched, you can take a look at the multiplayer trailer and another trailer showing off Alejandro Vargas and Valeria Garza, released a few days ago.
At the moment, the future of the Call of Duty series remains uncertaindue to factors not directly related to the franchise. While we already know that a new premium game is releasing this year, the pending acquisition of Activision Blizzard could bring changes of direction. Microsoft has been striking deals with companies like Nintendo and Nvidia to get the franchise on the Switch and on Geforce Now.
This means that the franchise could reach whole groups of new users with its future iterations, but it all depends on whether the deal goes through. Microsoft and Activision expect to close the acquisition by June 30, but regulators have been dragging their feet instigated by rival Sony, which appears to be determined to block the acquisition at all costs, having refused agreements similar to the one offered to Nintendo. We’ll have to wait and see.
