CoD: Black Ops 7 Bundles

Halloween is always one of the most anticipated holidays of the latter half of the year, but for die-hard fans of CoD Black Ops series, it also signals the arrival of the thrilling The Haunting event!

Trailers and the official roadmap have confirmed that CoD BO7 The Haunting event and Season 6 will launch simultaneously on September 17. As always, the content will roll out in phases (Launch and Reloaded).

Having previously speculated on the potential content of this update, we are now presenting a detailed Season 6 overview categorized by game mode, based on officially revealed information, to see if it lives up to the hype!

Multiplayer

New content for Multiplayer in Season 6 includes new maps, Limited-Time Modes (LTMs), and standard Ranked Play updates. Ranked Play will reward you based on your rank and specific win milestones.

New maps

At launch, BO7 Season 6 Multiplayer will introduce two new maps: Quantum and Bloodstead. Both are mid-sized, 6v6 maps.

In terms of detail, Quantum consists of two sections: an outdoor area exposed to the freezing Arctic tundra and an indoor area based on a tower structure, featuring locations like server rooms and maintenance bays.

Bloodstead transports you to Mason home. It resembles an abandoned site haunted by ghosts and a maniacal killer, with bloodstains and corpses scattered everywhere. The terrifying atmosphere might prove more unnerving than the human opponents themselves.

New Limited-Time Modes

New LTMs coming to CoD Black Ops 7 Multiplayer include T.E.D.D. Trials, Roadkill, Inferno, and Lost, all available at launch; modes such as Hordepoint, Freeze Tag, Moshpit, and others will arrive mid-season.

T.E.D.D. Trials is a mode particularly worth noting. It builds upon 6v6 gameplay by incorporating three classic Zombies maps and featuring five specific, randomly rotating challenges. The team that scores the highest within the allotted time emerges as the winner.

Zombies Mode

Upon the launch of Season 6, you will immediately unlock a new survival map, Tenshu, for Black Ops 7 Zombies, along with Rex Infernus Directed Mode, Rogue Run updates, and the highly anticipated Super Easter Egg.

Survival Map Tenshu

As the name suggests, this map is set against the backdrop of ancient Japanese architecture, featuring the fictional Kowakujo Castle. It is teeming with zombified samurai and various enemies inspired by Japanese horror themes.

To survive long enough on this map, you must master its entry and exit points as well as key locations; therefore, it is highly recommended to practice in BO7 bot lobbies to familiarize yourself with the terrain before diving in.

Rex Infernus Directed Mode

This mode is designed to provide additional guidance for the main quest. It takes place on a round-based Zombies map with a 15-round limit. Here, you must battle Warden, thwart his schemes, and unlock rewards.

Rogue Run updates

This update introduces three new pedestal rewards for the previously released BO7 Rogue Run mode, alongside Casual and Hardcore playlists set in Paradox Junction and Kowakujo.

Additionally, with the arrival of The Haunting event, players may encounter Pumpkin-Head Zombies across all Rogue Run playlists and unlock pumpkin pedestal rewards filled with candy.

Super Easter Egg

As one of the most anticipated features of Season 6, Super Easter Egg remains shrouded in mystery on the roadmap. While it has been confirmed that players will have the chance to unlock a new Operator, The Warden, further details likely won't be revealed until after the 17th.

Endgame

In contrast, updates to Black Ops 7 Season 6 endgame mode are relatively straightforward, featuring only Avalon Night map and the new Forbidden Summoning Event, both designed to tie into The Haunting theme.

Avalon Night transforms the classic Avalon map with a nighttime setting and incorporates additional eerie elements to heighten the Halloween atmosphere.

Meanwhile, Forbidden Summoning Event introduces a brand-new, extremely dangerous enemy as a special guest for The Haunting. Be sure to come fully prepared if you hope to defeat this foe and claim your rewards.

Warzone

Just like the multiplayer mode, CoD BO7 Warzone is kicking off a new ranked season alongside the launch of Season 6; actively climbing the ranks will earn you more rewards.

Remastered Map Haunted Hollow

With Halloween approaching, this town is once again filled with a spooky atmosphere. Beyond exploring and combat, you can utilize Ghost Train on the map to gather resources. Additionally, interacting with randomly appearing Pumpkin Heads could yield rewards or spring a trap.

LTM Giant Infected

This mode accommodates up to 64 players per match. At the start, eight players are randomly designated as Infected, with the goal of infecting everyone else. Survivors, meanwhile, must fight back to halt the spread of the outbreak.

DNA samples are scattered randomly across the map; these can be used to craft DNA bombs to stop the outbreak. Survivors also start with a unique gear setup that can be upgraded through combat.

If you are unfortunate enough to get infected and fail to revive in time, you will join the infected team. You must then use your innate zombie abilities to disable the bombs planted by the survivors and secure a victory.

Other Season 6 updates

In addition to the new maps and gameplay mechanics coming to various CoD Black Ops 7 modes, Season 6 and The Haunting event will introduce a host of new weapons, attachments, and other items via the battle pass and the in-game store.

Plus, the rewards unlocked by completing weekly challenges and milestones in the new game modes are entirely new!

Given that Season 6 is likely the final major update of BO7 lifecycle and coincides with The Haunting event, you definitely won't want to miss out on this content! Enjoy the game!

It has been nearly a month since the launch of CoD Black Ops 7 Season 5 Reloaded. With Halloween approaching at the end of October, anticipation is building for Season 6, which will coincide with the spooky season!

While the exact launch date remains unconfirmed, The Haunting launch trailer is set to drop on September 8 at 8:00 AM PT, offering a major preview of what Season 6 has in store.

Ahead of the trailer's release, we are speculating on what Black Ops 7 Season 6 might look like, drawing on BO6's pre-Halloween performance and other known details.

Potential Season 6 release date

If you played CoD BO6 last year, you'll know that The Haunting isn't exclusive to BO7; it is the umbrella title for the franchise's Halloween events.

Last year, Black Ops 6 Season 6 and The Haunting event ran from October 9 through November 10, right up until the eve of BO7's launch.

Given that the next Call of Duty title this year is Modern Warfare 4 (launching October 23) rather than Black Ops 8, the start date for CoD BO7 Season 6 is tentatively set for September 17, running until the launch of MW4.

Will there be new crossover events?

If you inspect the tags on Black Ops 7 The Haunting trailer page using specific tools, you'll spot references to Doom and Doom Eternal. This confirms that BO7 Season 6 The Haunting event will feature at least one crossover.

Based on this, we speculate that the game will likely introduce a playable Doom Slayer Operator skin, complete with exclusive weapon blueprints, via a specific Battle Pass or bundle.

Multiplayer is expected to introduce a limited-time mode featuring Doom-themed mechanics. As for Zombies mode, elements related to Doom Slayer might be integrated into the traditional limited-time Pumpkin Head mode.

It is worth noting that, due to the developer scaling back crossover scope and the removal of the carry forward system, BO7 The Haunting might feature only Doom collaboration, rather than the multiple IP crossovers seen in previous years.

Predictions for more new content

In addition to crossover events, CoD: Black Ops 7 is likely to follow tradition by releasing holiday-themed, nighttime remakes of classic, popular multiplayer maps for Season 6.

Furthermore, as part of the standard update cycle, at least two brand-new weapons are expected to be introduced, alongside the return of some fan-favorite classic weapons in remastered form.

As for Zombies mode, a new survival map is highly probable, and the release of smaller-scale survival maps cannot be ruled out. Once Season 6 goes live, you can familiarize yourself with the new map layouts by practicing in Black Ops 7 bot lobbies beforehand.

Since Super Easter Egg for Zombies was not included in Season 5 Reloaded update, it is expected to launch alongside the potential Boss Rush mode.

More thoughts on Super Easter Egg

With the addition of Rex Infernus Zombies map in CoD: BO7 Season 5 Reloaded, completing all main quests, as well as Cursed versions of Tiers 1, 2, and 3, unlocks Pack-a-Punch 4 camo.

As a universal camo, it can be applied to any weapon across all game modes. Clearly, this serves as an excellent starting point for Super Easter Egg rewards.

Leaked images suggest that Black Ops 7 Warzone may feature a brand-new Halloween event called Haven's Hollow. This implies an October update will bring this map variant into Warzone.

This also indicates that there will be at least one or two more updates before BO7 lifecycle concludes. Consequently, launching a Super Easter Egg to cap off and round out Zombies content would be an ideal approach.

Recent leaks and rumors suggest Super Easter Egg might be linked to a new mode called Boss Rush, featuring boss encounters tied to Rex Infernus map.

Given the high quality of boss battles in CoD: Black Ops 7, such a mode would undoubtedly be engaging and logical; after all, you might have played these maps without ever fully experiencing every boss fight.

Why are players particularly excited about Season 6 and The Haunting?

As the annual autumn highlight of Call of Duty franchise, the fusion of The Haunting with Season 6 has long been a cherished, ritualistic event for the player community.

With the new season approaching, and given that Black Ops 6 Halloween event suffered from a lack of presence and lackluster content due to frequent adjustments, players are hoping that the developers will launch a brand-new The Haunting event for Black Ops 7 that truly makes up for past disappointments.

It is important to emphasize that most of the above is merely speculation based on known information; the specific content of CoD Black Ops 7 Season 6 and The Haunting event will only be confirmed once the trailer and official roadmap are released.

Finally, if you are interested in Modern Warfare 4, and considering the open beta has concluded and most of the core gameplay has already been revealed, you might want to check out the available details to decide whether to give it a try this October!
