Black Ops 7 Season 6 Doom Crossover Confirmed for September 24
The Black Ops 7 Season 6 Doom crossover is officially happening. Activision confirmed on September 8, 2026, that the Doom Slayer is coming to both Black Ops 7 and Warzone as part of Season 6, titled The Haunting, which launches September 17 at 9 a.m. PT / 12 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. BST. The Doom-themed event itself kicks off a week later, on September 24.
This marks the final season of Black Ops 7’s yearly content cycle, with the next Call of Duty release being Modern Warfare 4 on October 23 rather than a new Black Ops entry. Activision is closing out the season with what’s shaping up to be one of its biggest licensed crossovers yet.
Black Ops 7 Season 6 Doom Crossover – What We Know
Starting September 24, players can earn Doom-themed cosmetics through both free and paid event tracks, headlined by a Doom Slayer operator unlock available through the free track and additional Doom Guy operator skins available through paid content. Call of Duty’s premium event passes are typically priced around $10, and Activision is also launching a dedicated Doom shop bundle alongside several other paid cosmetic packs tied to the collaboration.
This isn’t the franchise’s first Doom tie-in. A smaller 2023 bundle brought retro-styled Doom weapons, including a Super Shotgun and Chainsaw, into Call of Duty, but this new crossover gives the partnership a far more prominent role, with the Doom Slayer featured directly in Season 6’s own marketing and trailer, which uses the Doom-associated catchphrase “Rip and tear.”
Beyond the Doom content, The Haunting brings its usual seasonal horror makeover. Bloodstead arrives as a spooky variant of the existing Homestead map, adding new decor, gore, and zombies around its edges, while Quantum launches as a brand-new 6v6 map set at an arctic Guild facility. Endgame mode gets a limited-time Forbidden Summoning event on the Avalon map, and a Camo Party event later in the season lets players unlock new camos and a melee weapon across all game modes. Zombies also picks up a Rogue Run update, and the season introduces two new weapons alongside its map and mode additions.
Since Warzone shares seasonal content with the premium game, all of this, Doom crossover included, applies across both titles rather than being locked to Black Ops 7 specifically. Activision has said it will reveal further individual cosmetic details closer to the event’s actual start date, so the full scope of what’s included in each bundle remains somewhat unclear for now.
What This Means for Call of Duty Players
Closing out a season cycle with a crossover this prominent, rather than saving major licensed content for earlier in the year, suggests Activision wanted a strong send-off before attention shifts to Modern Warfare 4 next month. Featuring the Doom Slayer directly in trailer marketing, rather than treating the collaboration as a smaller shop bundle like 2023’s effort, signals Activision sees real value in leaning harder into recognizable gaming crossovers alongside its usual movie and TV tie-ins. It also gives Season 6 a distinct identity beyond just being another Haunting event, since the franchise has run Halloween-themed seasons for years and needs fresh hooks to keep them feeling special.
For players who don’t spend money on the game, the free event track still offers a genuine way to unlock the Doom Slayer operator without paying, which has become a consistent pattern for Call of Duty’s seasonal crossover events and keeps at least some marquee content accessible without a purchase.
What’s Next for Black Ops 7 Season 6
Season 6 launches September 17, with the Doom event following a week later on September 24. Activision hasn’t detailed every individual Doom cosmetic or bundle yet, so expect additional specifics, including exact pricing and full cosmetic lists, to roll out as the event’s start date approaches. Given how heavily the season’s marketing has already leaned on the Doom Slayer and its “Rip and tear” tagline, further teasers or a dedicated cosmetics showcase before September 24 wouldn’t be surprising.
