Black Ops 7 and Warzone's Season 06 Is The Haunting
DOOM Slayer joins the roster, Haven's Hollow goes full horror-movie, and a 64-player Infected mode comes back for the season.
Call of Duty confirmed Season 06 — "The Haunting" — on September 8. It drops September 17 at 9 AM PT everywhere, and it's the annual Halloween season across Multiplayer, Zombies, Endgame, and Warzone all at once.

Haven's Hollow becomes Haunted Hollow for the season — there's a Ghost Train event, a gravity-defying mansion, and pumpkins scattered around town that drop loot. Alongside it, Giant Infected is back: 64 players, Survivors vs. Infected, only on the new map. New Winstreak camos are up for grabs across Battle Royale, Resurgence, and Black Ops Royale, and Resurgence Ranked comes back for a shortened run.
This is also the last season for Black Ops Royale before it gets shelved, if that's your mode.
Quantum and Bloodstead are the two new Multiplayer maps — an Arctic quantum-computing site and a horror retheme of the Mason house. There's also a new mode called T.E.D.D. Trials that pulls three Zombies maps into 6v6 for the first time. Zombies itself picks up a new Survival map (Tenshu), a Directed Mode for the Rex Infernus quest, and a bigger Rogue Run with Pack-a-Punch Tier IV and Golden Armor as new pedestal rewards.
The big draw is a DOOM Event Pass — Doom Slayer becomes a playable Operator, with the Crucible Blade and DOOM Shotgun as unlocks. The regular Battle Pass also adds two new base weapons, the TR51 Para AR and the VMP SMG.
Big seasons like this are a good excuse to sanity-check your settings before launch day, since new maps and modes can shift what's actually smooth on your GPU. Our FPS Calculator has Black Ops 7 and Warzone numbers if you want to see where you land ahead of Season 06.
