The Haunting arrives in Call of Duty Season 06 on September 17

The seasonal event The Haunting returns on September 17, 2026, delivering Bloodstead, Hordepoint, Haunted Hollow, and crossover items from Doom.

Activision expands Season 06 with supernatural updates featuring fresh battlegrounds, competitive playlists, ballistic weaponry, and themed community operations designed to alter the core experience across both Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone on September 17, 2026. Fresh content transforms both titles.

Avalon transforms under the nighttime summoning ritual

Darkness covers Avalon as combat units enter an altered landscape controlled by an ominous entity arriving with The Haunting. Operatives must search the darkened sectors to find and unseal ancient containment barriers during the Forbidden Summoning Event. Unlocking these seals releases the monstrous creature into active combat.

Teams clash inside a Guild quantum computing complex hidden beneath Arctic ice fields. Firefights erupt beneath frozen turbine machinery and around a damaged communications tower stationed at the middle of the installation.

Squads infiltrate the abandoned Homestead property where waterways run crimson with blood and unexplained dangers threaten every approaching soldier.

Multiplayer playlist tests squads in T.E.D.D. Trials

Teams of six compete in varied T.E.D.D. Trials through an exclusive rotation that transplants three signature Zombies environments directly into standard Multiplayer matches. Combatants engage rival squads while firing Ray Guns against enemy lines as five randomized challenges rotate through active matchmaking. The rotation features Roadkill from Ashes of the Damned, Inferno from Kowakujō, and Lost from Totenreich.

Zombies alter standard capture zones in Hordepoint

The altered Hardpoint format introduces aggressive undead hordes that strike any Operator near active territory. Neutral capture zones trigger indiscriminate attacks against both squads, while a controlling team turns the monsters exclusively against their retreating opponents.

Competitive competitors can unlock exclusive seasonal rewards throughout the latest division ladder in Ranked Play.

Tenshu brings survival defense to the Masaki family fortress

Undead legions besiege the ancestral estate belonging to the Masaki family. Defending squads gather inside the central keep to withstand incoming rounds and secure milestone item rewards.

Rex Infernus introduces guided missions and room survival

Directed Mode provides step-by-step navigation through the Rex Infernus questline, whereas Starting Room restricts combatants entirely within the confines of the primary estate.

Rogue Run expands with new maps and pedestal upgrades

Three fresh pedestal upgrades arrive at launch, granting players access to Pack-a-Punch IV, Ultra-Rarity weapon enhancements, and protective Golden Armor. The roguelite formula expands with support for the Paradox Junction and Kowakujō maps.

Super Easter Egg challenges reward complete campaign runs

Players who finish every Main Quest across the full selection of round-based Zombies maps receive an unannounced completion unlock. Unique rewards await. The Haunting also populates Rogue Run playlists with pumpkin-headed zombies guarding reward pedestals.

Supernatural threats spread across Call of Duty: Warzone

Night operations deploy into a modified variant of Haven’s Hollow, where eldritch entities and ritualistic phenomena take hold across the landscape. The Haunted Hollow map holds occult dangers along every combat corridor.

A phantom Ghost Train circulates through Haunted Haven, requiring squads to shift the locomotive into physical reality before collecting its cargo.

Trick-or-treat pumpkins situated outside retail storefronts provide interactive opportunities for exploring combatants. Opening these containers yields valuable supply items or triggers traps.

A drained pond reveals ancient ruins beneath the water line while strange illuminations emanate from the nearby mansion.

A 64-player survival match divides combatants into survivors and infected within the boundaries of Haunted Hollow. Eight randomly selected individuals begin the contest as infected agents tasked with transforming every competitor before extraction. Surviving combatants must gather materials to assemble a functional DNA Bomb that neutralizes the infection across the operational zone.

Victory streak rewards refresh competitive Resurgence play

Competitors earn Universal Weapon Camos by completing fresh Victory Streaks and climbing divisions in Resurgence Ranked Play.

Battle Pass roster adds Doom crossover and BlackCell items

Progression across the Season 06 Battle Pass unlocks tactical Weapon Blueprints alongside character designs for active Operators. Upgrading to the BlackCell offering delivers the Revenant Operator and an animated Mastercraft Weapon Blueprint with additional challenge-based style variants. Hellish entities from Doom arrive through an Event Pass, accompanied by the Tracer Pack: Doom Demonic Essence Bundle in the digital store.

The Battle Pass unlocks the VMP submachine gun and the TR51 Para assault rifle for combat loadouts. Weekly challenges and live events provide access to the Arcblade melee weapon, the Roc 20mm Special weapon, and three tactical weapon attachments.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone remain playable on PS5 and PS4 consoles.
