Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone are ramping up for a major crossover event, with Activision officially confirming a collaboration with Netflix’s Squid Game. The tie-in is set to debut in January 2025, aligning with the highly anticipated release of Squid Game Season 2, which premieres on December 26, 2024.
Teasing the Crossover
A brief teaser trailer shows a Black Ops 6 operator discovering the iconic Squid Game business card—marked with the circle, triangle, and square symbols. While the clip keeps specific details under wraps, fans can expect themed content, likely including:
- Operator Skins: Expect cosmetics inspired by Squid Game’s masked guards, contestants, or possibly even the enigmatic Front Man.
- In-Game Event: There could be challenges or missions tied to earning Squid Game-themed rewards.
- Paid Bundles: Activision may also offer premium cosmetic bundles for fans who want to gear up in Squid Game style.
A History of IP Crossovers
This isn’t the first time Call of Duty has embraced pop culture. Modern Warfare 3 had crossover content from The Boys, Fallout, Dune, WWE superstars, and more, blending free rewards with premium bundles. The Squid Game collaboration appears to continue that trend, adding a uniquely dystopian flair to the franchise.
What’s Next for Black Ops 6
Fans of Zombies mode have plenty to look forward to ahead of the Squid Game crossover. The new Citadelle des Morts map arrives on December 5, featuring storylines that weave together previously unconnected Zombies lore. This map promises a cinematic experience and sets the stage for midseason updates to Season 1.
Stay tuned for more details as the Squid Game content drops early next year!
