In an exciting development for gamers and fans alike, Black Ops 6 has officially announced its inaugural collaboration with none other than the acclaimed Netflix series, Squid Game.
The Call of Duty franchise has a rich history of ambitious crossover events. Past titles, such as Modern Warfare 3, included exclusive operator skins inspired by popular culture phenomena like The Boys, The Walking Dead, Tomb Raider, and others. Recently, rumors have circulated indicating that BO6 might feature a Master Chief skin, which was initially part of a canceled event associated with MW3. However, Activision has officially confirmed that the first crossover will be centered around the gripping drama of Squid Game, a show that follows 456 contestants who risk everything for a life-changing cash prize—or face deadly consequences.
Squid Game quickly rose to prominence, becoming Netflix’s most-watched series while garnering numerous accolades, including a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy. Fans eagerly anticipate the highly awaited Season 2, set to debut on December 26, 2024, with additional news that the final season is expected to release in 2025.

Activision has confirmed that the Squid Game crossover will officially launch in January. The Season 1 Reloaded update is set to roll out on Thursday, December 5, suggesting that the Squid Game collaboration may either coincide with this mid-season update or be integrated into the forthcoming Season 2.
What to Anticipate from the BO6 and Squid Game Event
While specific details regarding the content of the Squid Game event remain under wraps, previous crossover events have typically featured a variety of offerings. This has included operator and weapon skins, unique finishing moves, and various cosmetic items, along with engaging limited-time game modes.
Player feedback indicates a desire for more customization options. Some fans have expressed their willingness to invest in features that allow them to disable what they describe as “obnoxious” skins, particularly after encountering frustrations with flashy weapon effects, such as bright bullets that explode in vibrant colors.
Stay tuned for further updates regarding the launch and specifics of the Squid Game event as it becomes available!
