Call of Duty Announces Squid Game Crossover

Key Takeaways

  • Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 will feature a new crossover event with Squid Game, building excitement for both brands.
  • The collaboration likely aims to promote the second season of Squid Game as its December 26 premiere approaches.
  • The crossover comes ahead of Black Ops 6’s Season 1 Reloaded update, adding new content like multiplayer maps and a Zombies experience.



The global phenomenon known as Squid Game will soon be making its way into Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 as part of the franchise’s ever-expanding slate of collaborations. As confirmed in a newly released trailer, Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 players will soon be able to experience the world of Netflix’s Squid Game in a whole new way, though exact details have been kept under wraps.

Limited-time pop culture events have become a mainstay of live-service video games, with Epic Games’ Fortnite leaning heavily into brand partnerships and collaborations over the last several years. The same formula rings true for Activision’s decades-old Call of Duty franchise, which has delved further into the world of sponsorships and collaborations with each new release. Last year’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 saw several iconic faces and characters make their way into the game in the form of operator skins, with Black Ops 6 likely to do the same. However, a newly released trailer confirms a somewhat surprising crossover, which sees Treyarch and Activision team up with Netflix for a new Squid Game-inspired event.

Call of Duty Announces Squid Game Crossover

This new collaboration likely works as a way for Netflix to build up even more excitement for the highly anticipated second season of Squid Game, which will premiere on the platform on December 26. The original season of Squid Game dropped on Netflix in 2021, practically taking over the world. A collaboration between two entertainment juggernauts like Netflix and Call of Duty makes sense, especially considering Squid Game is quite graphic and violent, perfect for one of the world’s most popular FPS titles.


The news of this crossover also comes on the cusp of Black Ops 6‘s Season 1 Reloaded update, which will add several new multiplayer maps into the mix, as well as a brand-new Zombies experience known as Citadelle des Morts. Alongside steady new updates to Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, Call of Duty: Warzone has also received tweaks and changes. Players were introduced to Warzone‘s newest map, Area 99, earlier this year, with plenty more surprises in store for Call of Duty fans going into 2025.
