Call of Duty has long been a cornerstone in gaming culture, known for its action-packed gameplay and immersive experiences. Now, as September winds down, its most eagerly anticipated Season 6 for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 arrives. Fans are in for a treat as this season leans heavily into the upcoming Halloween festivities, aptly titled “The Haunting.”
Launch Highlights: New Maps and An Iconic Character
Dropping on September 27th, this update doesn’t hold back. Players worldwide can synchronize their watches as the release is set to roll out at:
- 9 a.m. PT in North America’s west coast
- 12 p.m. ET on the east coast
- 5 p.m. GMT in the U.K.
- 6 p.m. CET for our Parisian players
- For Tokyo’s night owls, 2 a.m. JST on February 16th
Before diving into the Halloween theme, players will first explore four intriguing multiplayer maps. Newcomers include ‘La Casa,’ suited for core modes, and the adrenaline-packed ‘Fight,’ a fresh addition to the Gunfight map roster. Nostalgic players will also be elated to see the return of ‘Koro Village’ from Call of Duty 2 (2007) and ‘King’ from Modern Warfare 2019.
The pièce de résistance, however, is undoubtedly the arrival of the iconic character ‘Spawn’ in the Call of Duty universe. A monumental collaboration with Todd McFarlane, Spawn will dominate the new battle pass, making appearances both at the onset (tier 0) and the culmination (tier 100). Al Simmons, another fresh face, also debuts alongside Spawn.

Call of Duty’s appeal has long been its arsenal. Players will begin with access to a “TR-76 Geist” assault rifle, an “ISO 9mm” SMG and “Dual Kamas” melee weapon from day one; later in the season we may even witness the appearance of a powerful “Doom Chainsaw.”
But that’s not all! The exclusive ‘Blackcell’ upgrade promises further Operator unlocks and a lavish 1,100 Call of Duty Points. The season will also see the grand entry of other revered characters like Diablo, Skeletor, and the operators from Evil Dead, adding more depth to the chilling “Haunting” theme.

The Haunting Mid-Season Extravaganza
While the launch packs a punch, the real spectacle is set for the mid-season. “The Haunting” event will revamp the gaming landscapes, with Warzone 2.0’s Al Mazrah and Vondel maps metamorphosing into eerie battlefields. Zombie Royale mode and Halloween-themed tools are bound to send shivers down the spines of even the most seasoned players.
Modern Warfare 2 isn’t left behind either. As the haunting spirit envelops the gaming world, players will find their favorite modes now embellished with spine-chilling elements, keeping them on the edge of their seats.
An innovative “Soul Capture” event will run across both games, turning fallen players into coveted Souls. By collecting and cashing in these souls, players can unlock exclusive items, amplifying the gameplay’s stakes. Add to that daily login rewards, and there’s hardly any excuse not to dive into the action!
Wrapping Up and Gearing Up for Future Adventures
As Season 6 for Modern Warfare 2 reaches its pinnacle, fans should remember that it marks the end of this chapter. But fret not! All the hard-earned unlocks and purchases will seamlessly transition to Modern Warfare 3, set to launch on November 10.
In summary, Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0’s Season 6 is a testament to Call of Duty’s commitment to continually enhance the player experience. Merging action with haunting themes, it promises an unmatched gaming adventure, ensuring the franchise’s legacy burns brighter than ever.
