Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Call of Duty: Warzone are getting a major seasonal content drop for Season 06, and it goes by a familiar name: The Haunting. Xbox Wire confirmed the news on September 8, 2026, signaling that the annual horror-themed event is back and packed into the latest season for both titles.
What Is The Haunting?
The Haunting is Call of Duty’s recurring seasonal event that leans hard into horror themes, typically bringing limited-time modes, spooky operator skins, and themed bundles tied to Halloween. Its return in Season 06 of Black Ops 7 and Warzone follows the tradition established in previous years, where the event became one of the most anticipated content windows of the annual Call of Duty calendar.
Season 06 is the final major season in a game’s annual cycle, which makes it a natural fit for The Haunting. The event has historically closed out the year with some of the most creative and over-the-top content Activision puts out, and the Season 06 timing lines up with that pattern again here.
Black Ops 7 and Warzone Together
The content drop covers both Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and the free-to-play Call of Duty: Warzone, meaning players across both titles will have access to The Haunting event content during Season 06. This dual-title approach has been standard for major Call of Duty seasonal events in recent years, letting the player base across multiplayer and battle royale participate at the same time.
For Game Pass subscribers, Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 is available through Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass, making the Season 06 content drop accessible to members without an additional purchase for the base game. Warzone remains free-to-play regardless of subscription status.
What to Expect From Season 06 Content
While the Xbox Wire post published by Mike Nelson on September 8, 2026 did not break down the full content slate in detail, The Haunting events in past Call of Duty seasons have included limited-time game modes with horror twists, Halloween-themed operator bundles, weapon blueprints, and event challenges tied to exclusive cosmetic rewards. Based on prior years, players can expect a similar structure for this year’s drop across Black Ops 7 and Warzone.
The event typically runs for a limited window within the season, so players who want to complete challenges or grab time-sensitive bundles will want to jump in early rather than wait until the final weeks of Season 06.
How to Access The Haunting in Season 06
- Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 – Available on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PC, and PlayStation platforms. Included with Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC Game Pass.
