Gameloft promised back in March that it would make one of its most popular mobile games for Windows Phone, Modern Combat 5: Blackout, free to download after the spring update.

Well, it looks like the spring update is happening, as Gameloft has just announced “a barrage of new features” is now available for Modern Combat 5: Blackout players who can also download the game for free now.

The game was previously available for purchase in Windows Phone Store for $3.99, but it's now free on all free major platforms: Android, iOS and Windows Phone.

Aside from the fact that it's been made free to download, Modern Combat 5: Blackout for Windows Phone gained a plethora of new gameplay features and improvements.

For example, Gameloft confirmed the game now features an extra weapon tier, as well as a brand-new support class that will allow players to heal allies and let their teammates respawn on the spot they died. Also, a new light machine gun has been implemented too.

New multiplayer mode and new maps added

A completely new multiplayer mode has been included in the update: Zone Control. In this mode players will have to capture and defend areas to rack up score superiority.

Two new Modern Combat maps, Scamble and Overtime are now available for Windows Phone players. Squad Battles, as well as Solo and Squad multiplayer leagues have also been implemented.

It's also worth mentioning Gameloft allows players to vote for the next map they want to battle on. So expect more maps to be added in future updates.

Last but not least, developers confirm that the update brings more character customization options, such as weapon cameos, masks, logos and kill signs.

You can now download Modern Combat 5: Blackout for Windows Phone for free via Windows Phone Store. The game should be fully compatible with all devices powered by Windows Phone 8 and up, which pack at least 1GB RAM.
