The Haunting Arrives in Call of Duty Season 06

The update

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone Season 06 launches Thursday, September 17, introducing a supernatural theme called The Haunting. The update adds new maps like Bloodstead, Hordepoint, and Haunted Hollow. Players can compete in a new 6v6 playlist featuring three classic Zombies maps—Roadkill, Inferno, and Lost—introduced into Multiplayer for the first time. A new Hardpoint mode, T.E.D.D. Trials, pits teams against zombie hordes. Ranked Play returns for a new season, and a new Directed Mode, Rex Infernus, offers close-quarters challenges.

Why it matters

The Haunting update expands the seasonal content for both Black Ops 7 and Warzone, offering fresh gameplay modes and map rotations. The integration of classic Zombies maps into Multiplayer provides a unique hybrid experience for players. The Avalon Night event introduces a new narrative layer, requiring players to unlock seals to free a creature in a forbidden summoning event.

What to watch

Players should monitor the new Ranked Play season and the rewards available through the Masaki family castle event. The Rex Infernus Directed Mode offers a new challenge for close-quarters combat enthusiasts. The surprise reward for completing all Main Quests across Black Ops 7 Round-Based Zombies maps remains to be seen.
