Season 06 Roadmap

Across Call of Duty® Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty®: Warzone™, Season 06 amps up the scares with Haunted Hollow, where cosmic horrors and a Ghost Train infiltrate the small-town Resurgence map. In Multiplayer, rack up the kills in the Quantum and Bloodstead maps, Hordepoint mode, and face off on Zombies locations in MP during T.E.D.D. Trials. Conjure a terrifying foe in Endgame’s Forbidden Summoning Event as night descends upon Avalon and face off against pumpkin-headed hordes in Zombies across a slew of grisly new content.

Unlock new Attachments through Weekly Challenges, summon the forces of Hell with a DOOM-themed Event and Bundle, and much more.

Black Ops 7: Endgame Content

Avalon Night (Launch)

In Endgame, night descends on Avalon, plunging Operators into an eerie landscape where Fears, Guild opponents, and other obstacles seek to eliminate squads under the cover of night.

The Forbidden Summoning Event (Launch)

Avalon has a new guest courtesy of The Haunting. Unlock the seals to free an ancient threat in the Forbidden Summoning Event and bring plenty of backup to receive its worthy rewards.

Black Ops 7: Multiplayer Content

Multiplayer Maps

Quantum (Launch)

Brand-New, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Seize upon a Guild quantum computing facility buried within the Arctic ice before its secrets are lost. In this narrow map, Operators must brave the cold and snow across the facility’s frigid outdoor spaces including the Courtyard, Square, and Catwalk, while the map’s interior spaces bring combat to a fever pitch in tight areas like the Servers, Maintenance, Hallway, and the frozen Turbine.

Damage inflicted on the structure has revealed new routes and cover, including openings in the roof of the central Tower, giving room for aerial streaks to find their way in. The Tower draws attention with a dangerous play space marked with dense cover, openings on all four sides, and a concealed flanking path in the center. Using speed and precision, work with your teammates to calculate a winning score.

Bloodstead (Launch)

Retheme, 6v6, Medium-Sized

Fight through a forsaken Homestead as an unexplained horror descends on the Mason home. The waters have turned to blood, zombies lurk around the perimeter, and blood trails mark every corner of the map.

A body hangs from the rafters in the Corpse House and the Blood Shed, while gore overflows in the Cyst Lodge kitchen. Upstairs, a watchful eye looks over the chaos within. Everywhere you look, horror awaits; tread carefully or risk losing your sanity before the fight is won.

Multiplayer Limited-Time Modes

T.E.D.D. Trials (Launch, LTM)

New LTM, Zombies Maps Only

Compete in 6v6 across a variety of T.E.D.D. Trials in this special playlist bringing three iconic Zombies maps into Multiplayer for the first time in Black Ops 7. Fight off the enemy team and wield Ray Guns against the horde as a random set of five T.E.D.D. Trials cycles through rotation! The first team to reach the Score Limit or have the most score by the time limit wins.

Roadkill

Take on trials by Reba’s Diner in Roadkill, based on the Exit 115 location from Ashes of the Damned.

Inferno

Brave the heat in the ancestral castle from Kowakujō. Complete trials on this map surrounded by active volcanoes and flowing lava rivers.

Lost

Deploy to the remote Eidskallen Lighthouse from Totenreich. Traverse the frigid island and fight to be the first team through each trial!

Hordepoint (In-Season)

Returning LTM, 6v6

Control and hold the objective to score and to turn the horde against the enemy team. In this terrifying twist on Hardpoint, zombies roam the map, lunging at nearby Operators. When the Hardpoint is neutral, they will attack both teams. When one team controls the objective, the zombies will join them and only attack the opposing team, making Hardpoint control critical to winning the match.

Check their eyes if you’re unsure of their current allegiance: red-eyed zombies will attack you on sight, while blue eyes signify that the undead are fighting on your side. Keep a sharp eye on the Hardpoint rotation, because the switch can happen in an instant.

Freeze Tag (In-Season)

Returning LTM

Drop into a 6v6 respawn mode where teams compete to freeze the enemy while keeping their allies in the fight. Downed targets will drop and become encased in ice; only their teammates can free them by damaging the ice. Freeze the entire enemy team for a bonus. Proximity chat is enabled.

Call of Duty®: Warzone™ Content

Welcome to Haunted Hollow (Launch)

Something evil has taken hold of Haven’s Hollow, twisting familiar locations into haunting new discoveries. Uncover sinister changes throughout the town, from the entangled River Boat to the raging fire at the Lumbermill and the Mansion gravity vortex. Cosmic tentacles dominate the skyline, heralding the arrival of unknown eldritch horrors, while evidence of occult activity plagues the darkened landscape.

Deploy to the haunted map in Operation Grave Rot to explore the once peaceful town, now transformed by Halloween and the creatures from beyond.

All Aboard the Ghost Train

To get the goods on the Ghost Train traveling through Haunted Hollow, you’ll first need to find a way to phase the train back into reality. Use your time wisely to reach Supply Boxes, a Buy Station, Mystery Box, and other useful resources before the train returns to its immaterial form.

Trick or Treat Pumpkins

The shops around town have left out festive pumpkins brimming with potential rewards, inviting Operator to take a chance on acquiring valuable loot at the risk of incurring the danger of a trick instead. Rewards include Zombies powerups that grant short-term buffs similar to Perks when activated.

And Other Surprises…

The Haunting has taken over all of Haven's Hollow. From the gravity defying vortex in the Mansion foyer, to the burning of Lumbermill, to the drained Pond with its exposed eldritch sigils, to the massacre at the Research facility, there's so much to explore, offering new means of traversal, secrets to uncover, and even dark whispers of an ancient ritual on the brink of completion.

New Limited-Time Mode (Launch)

Giant Infected (Launch)

64 Players, Haunted Hollow

It’s Survivors vs. Infected on a grand scale in Giant Infected as 64 players descend on Haunted Hollow. Eight random players will be assigned as Infected from the start with the goal of infecting every player in the match while the Survivors fight to construct a DNA Bomb capable of stopping the outbreak in its tracks.

Survivors

Before matters escalate further than they already have, the survivors must gather DNA samples around the map to build and arm a DNA Bomb that will stop the outbreak.

Each Survivor enters the match with a fixed Loadout that can be upgraded multiple times as they earn score from surviving, defeating enemies, collecting DNA samples, and completing activities. Collect enough DNA samples to initiate the bomb sequence. If it detonates, the Survivors win.

Infected

Fallen Survivors who are not revived in time will join the Infected team as a zombie with default abilities including unlimited sprint, special melee attacks, fast mantling, wall jumps, and no fall damage.

The longer an Infected player survives, the stronger they’ll get, gaining increasing levels of strength via upgrades including faster movement speed, increased health, and access to a super jump. Eliminate Survivors and collect DNA to power up more quickly.

Relentlessly pursue the Survivors, keep them from collecting DNA, and should they activate a DNA bomb, work with your fellow horde to shut it down and win the match.

We’re taking a close look at SR progression in Diamond+ tiers during Season 06. Because the season is already set to last just four weeks, it provides a useful opportunity to test changes and collect data over a shorter, lower-impact period. Our goal is to make SR gains at the highest levels more reflective of performance, not simply time invested, while also limiting SR inflation, particularly as players approach and climb through the Top 250. We’re aiming to achieve this without making Ranked Play feel overly punishing. To make the results easier to evaluate, we’re intentionally over-indexing on the adjustments so the impact is clear and measurable. More context and a full breakdown will be shared in the upcoming Season 06 patch notes.

Earn the following Season 06-specific Ranked Rewards for getting Top Placements and reaching at least Silver Rank within the season:

New Operators

Dispatch foes with the BlackCell Revenant Collection leading Season 06 BlackCell content. In the Battle Pass, lay your bets on The Guild’s new Blackjack Operator.

Revenant (BlackCell, JSOC, Launch)

“Revenant” + Two Unlockable Variants: BlackCell Instant Reward Page

Revenant is a specialist in digital intrusion and clandestine field work. His equipment pairs experimental systems with reactive resin masking and chroma-shifting armor, allowing him to hunt from the shadows while his targets are unaware. This technology — unreliable in untrained hands — is maintained personally by Revenant between deployments.

Methodical under pressure, Revenant is uniquely adapted for assessing hostile networks and identifying weaknesses and infiltration routes. No physical facility or digital fortress is safe when he lays his sights on it.

Blackjack (Battle Pass, Guild, Launch)

“Blackjack” and “Zenith” Skins: Battle Pass Instant Reward Page, Battle Pass Completion Page

Discreet, adaptable, and uniquely resourceful, Danny “Blackjack” Li’s ability to work in the spaces between criminal syndicates and military contracts have made him an increasingly recognizable name in the global arms trade.

Doom Slayer (Battle Pass, JSOC, In-Season)

“Doom Slayer” and “Doom Guy” Skins, DOOM Event Pass Rewards

In the first age, in the first battle, when the shadows first lengthened, one stood. Burned by the embers of Armageddon, his soul blistered by the fires of Hell and tainted beyond ascension, he chose the path of perpetual torment. In his ravenous hatred he found no peace; and with boiling blood he scoured the Umbral Plains seeking vengeance against the dark lords who had wronged him. He wore the crown of the Night Sentinels, and those that tasted the bite of his sword named him… Doom Slayer.

Additional Battle Pass and BlackCell Operator Skins
