Netflix’s Squid Game is making an appearance in Black Ops 6.
The crossover with the hit series will add new limited-time modes, operators, and weapon blueprints to the game in 2025. Surprisingly, the show is not only coming to multiplayer, but to Zombies and Warzone as well. Be on your toes and look out for any suspicious people playing ddakji or offering you a choice between bread and scratch-offs. That is, unless you wish to participate yourself.
Here’s when Squid Game is releasing in Black Ops 6, and what we do and don’t know about the collaboration so far.

What to expect in the Squid Game collab
What we know about the Squid Game collab so far
- New limited time modes added to multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone in-season according to a Call of Duty blog post. In the collaboration trailer, there appears to be a Red Light, Green Light game that takes place on Red Card, and ddakjis may have replaced dog tags in Kill Confirmed. The trailer also shows that Red Light, Green Light will make an appearance in Warzone as the animatronic girl guards a few chests.
- New operators dressed in iconic Squid Game fashion have been confirmed. Play as the one of the workers, the Front Man, a VIP, Players 115 and 006, and even the robot girl from Red Light, Green Light.
- New weapon blueprints are coming as well and a few can be seen in the collaboration trailer. There aren’t many iconic weapons from the series, so these could be the MP5’s that the workers are holding or entirely new skins.
What we don’t know about the Squid Game collab so far
- We’re not sure what the limited time modes will entail, but the trailer does seem to showcase Red Light, Green Light across multiplayer and Warzone. As for Zombies, VIPs are watching from the balconies and they’re thrilled to see you take on the horde, but that is all we know about Zombies so far.
- How long the collaboration will last. Black Ops 6 season 1 is expected to end on Jan. 28, 2025, and the Squid Game collab is listed as one of the Season 1 Reloaded events, so we can assume that the collab will end either before the 28th or on the same day.
