October has arrived, signaling the start of the spooky season, and many games are joining the celebration. Among them is Activision’s Call of Duty, which is set to bring back a highly anticipated character after a considerable hiatus.
The annual Call of Duty Halloween event, known as “The Haunting,” is scheduled to begin on October 9th. A promotional image for the event has already teased exciting additions, including the return of The Predator and the beloved MP40 gun.
The Predator hasn’t made an appearance in a Call of Duty game since its inclusion in the Devastation DLC for Call of Duty: Ghosts back in 2014. This comeback is notably timely, as 20th Century Studios is preparing to release its next Predator movie, ‘Predator: Badlands,’ on November 7th.
It’s time to face your nightmares in #TheHaunting coming on October 9 🧟♂️
Expect The Haunting event to deliver a variety of eerie new skins, along with Halloween-themed maps and game modes. Activision has indicated that more details about the “Halloween fun” arriving in Black Ops 6 and Warzone will be shared later this week.
It’s important to note that while The Predator’s new skin for Black Ops 6 will not carry over to Black Ops 7—as content rarely transfers between these specific titles—all Black Ops 6 content will seamlessly integrate into Warzone going forward.
In other Call of Duty updates, the Black Ops 7 beta, which recently received an extension, will conclude on October 9th. This convenient timing allows Call of Duty enthusiasts to transition directly from the beta experience into the onset of The Haunting event.
Meanwhile, for fans of first-person shooters, EA’s Battlefield 6 is slated for release on October 10th, ensuring a busy and action-packed period for the genre.
