What you should expect from the Call of Duty x Squid Game 2 collaboration
Treyarch recently announced an upcoming Squid Game-related event within Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Zombies, and Call of Duty: Warzone as part of the Season 1 Reloaded update.
Players can anticipate time-limited modes that will potentially showcase innovative versions of popular games like “Red Light, Green Light” and “Tug of War,” remodeled to utilize BO6’s unique mechanics and weapons. These modes are forecasted to bring an engaging and novel spin to the familiar gameplay.
Warzone could feature a unique battle royale-style mode that cleverly incorporates the Squid Game’s survival, strategic, and competitive elements.
Exclusive cosmetics are also expected to be part of the event, including operator skins that are reminiscent of the series’ famous pink jumpsuits worn by the guards and the mysterious Front Man.
In addition, the event will likely bring a host of unlockable goodies such as themed calling cards, weapon blueprints, and symbols, which can be won by completing event-specific tasks.
Call of Duty Squid Game 2 crossover launch date
According to a thrilling video teaser, Activision has affirmed that the much-awaited Call of Duty x Squid Game 2 collaboration will launch in January 2025.
An actual release date is yet to be declared, but the event is projected to start soon after the Archie’s Festival Frenzy event wraps up, which is currently slated to run from December 19, 2024 until January 3, 2025.
This timeline neatly matches the release of Squid Game Season 2, which is set to premiere on December 26, enabling the crossover to leverage the renewed enthusiasm and buzz around the show.
