Activision launches Call of Duty Season 06 on September 17

Activision rolls out the Season 06 update for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone across all platforms on September 17 at 9AM PT. The rollout introduces The Haunting event alongside new multiplayer arenas, fresh arsenal additions, and dedicated Zombies playlists.

Terror returns across the board.

Warzone players gain access to the Haunted Hollow map, an eerie variation of Haven’s Hollow that hosts the 64-player Giant Infected mode where eight starting infected hunt down human survivors who must assemble and detonate a DNA Bomb. To complete the weapon, participants gather regional biological samples while avoiding undead enemies equipped with enhanced traversal skills and superior agility across the darkened town.

Multiplayer receives fresh arenas and infected variants

Multiplayer rosters gain two medium combat layouts with Quantum, a Guild computing facility situated in the Arctic ice, and Bloodstead, an overhauled version of the Mason homestead perimeter. Combat also expands to Roadkill, Lost, and Inferno for the T.E.D.D. Trials playlist, testing squads in consecutive rounds across classic environments.

Hordepoint alters standard point capture mechanics by releasing roving undead packs that assault both teams until an objective changes hands, which redirects the horde exclusively toward rivals.

Freeze Tag introduces six-versus-six respawn combat where eliminated operators turn into blocks of ice that only squadmates can shatter. Proximity chat functions throughout the match.

Directed Mode opens for the Rex Infernus map to guide squads through the Main Quest against the Warden with a maximum cap set at Round 15.

Rogue Run incorporates Pack-a-Punch Tier IV upgrades, self-repairing Golden Armor, and dedicated playlists across Paradox Junction and Kowakujō.
