Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 Season 6 Brings Predator Collab, MP-40, and Release Date Reveal

Treyarch Studios has officially unveiled details for Season 6 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, marking the final major update before the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 on November 14. The update is set to go live October 9, immediately after the Black Ops 7 open beta wraps up.

🗓️ Season 6 Launch Timing

Treyarch confirmed that Black Ops 6 Season 6 will arrive as soon as the beta period for Black Ops 7 ends on October 9 at 9 AM PT. While servers will remain active, this update officially serves as the closing chapter for the Black Ops 6 content cycle.

Meanwhile, Black Ops 7 is preparing for its global launch on November 14, taking players into the year 2035 with returning Black Ops 2 legends David Mason and Raul Menendez. Fans can expect:

• ⚔️ Fast-paced multiplayer powered by an upgraded omnimovement system
• 🧟 Zombies chaos with new gameplay twists
• 🧠 A mind-bending campaign connecting past and future Black Ops narratives

Predator Collaboration Confirmed

Treyarch dropped a surprise teaser on social media revealing a collaboration with the legendary Predator franchise for Season 6. The image featured the unmistakable thermal vision and targeting icon synonymous with the alien hunter — confirming that Predator-themed content will arrive as part of the new season.

While exact details remain under wraps, fans are already speculating about a Predator operator skin, themed weapons, or even a limited-time event mode inspired by the hunt.

MP-40 Returns

In addition to the Predator crossover, Season 6 introduces the MP-40, one of the most iconic submachine guns in Call of Duty history.

The MP-40 has been a staple across multiple installments — including World at War, Vanguard, and Black Ops 4 — and is now making its long-awaited return to Black Ops 6. Its inclusion adds another nostalgic yet powerful option for close-quarters combat fans.

🎃 Haunting of Verdansk Rumors Resurface

The promotional artwork also hints at the return of the fan-favorite Haunting of Verdansk event in Warzone Season 6.

Though developer Raven Software hasn’t made an official announcement, the teaser suggests that players may once again drop into a nighttime version of Verdansk as part of a limited-time Halloween playlist — possibly featuring spooky cosmetics and themed rewards.

Black Ops 7 Beta Extension

In a move that delighted players, Treyarch extended the Black Ops 7 open beta from October 8 to October 9, aligning its conclusion with the start of Season 6.

The beta currently includes the new “Open Moshpit” playlist — a traditional matchmaking system designed to minimize skill-based matchmaking (SBMM).

This experiment has been well-received by the community, with many praising the return of connection-based matchmaking. However, Treyarch has yet to confirm if this system will carry over to the full release of Black Ops 7.

🚀 Looking Ahead

With Season 6 set to deliver one final burst of content — including the Predator crossover, the MP-40, and a potential Halloween event — Black Ops 6 is ending on a strong note.

As the community gears up for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7’s official release, this update ensures that the transition between games feels both nostalgic and action-packed.

Mark your calendar:

• 🕘 Season 6 Launches: October 9, 2025
• 🎮 Black Ops 7 Release: November 14, 2025

The hunt begins — whether by Predator’s laser sight or your MP-40.
