Get ready for a spine-chilling update in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 as Season 6 unleashes The Haunting event, packed with Halloween vibes and crossover thrills. Players can expect fresh maps, terrifying modes, and iconic horror characters joining the fray, making this a must-play for fans seeking seasonal scares.
The Haunting Brings Horror to Black Ops 6
This latest season transforms the battlefield with eerie twists, introducing new multiplayer arenas like Gravity, Rig, and Mothball, plus a festive Boo-Town version of the classic Nuketown. As a player, I love how these additions keep the action fresh, especially with the Halloween overlay that amps up the tension in every match.
What New Modes Are Coming to Multiplayer?
The standout is Slasher Deathmatch, where horror legends Jason Voorhees and Chucky turn matches into slasher film chaos. It's a brilliant way to blend pop culture with intense gameplay, potentially shifting strategies toward survival horror tactics rather than straight firefights.
Zombies and Warzone Get Spooky Upgrades
In Zombies, the Haunted Havoc mode adds chaotic fun with new GobbleGum perks and competitive leaderboards that could redefine endgame builds. For Warzone enthusiasts, expect haunting variants of Verdansk and Rebirth Island, the return of Zombie Royale with enhanced abilities, and a new Casual Z mode for lighter undead action.
What's Included in the New Weapons and Operators?
Four fresh weapons and two attachments expand your arsenal, offering more customization for those clutch moments. New operators like Dread, Predator, and bundles featuring Chucky and Tiffany Valentine bring personality to your squad. These crossovers are a smart move, drawing in fans from beyond the shooter genre.
Free Trial and Future Teases
Newcomers can jump in with a free trial of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 from October 9 to October 16, 2025, covering campaign, multiplayer, and zombies. Plus, there's buzz about pre-orders for the next installment. For full details, check the official Call of Duty site.
