Squid Game Event Rumored to Introduce Premium Pass in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone
The much-anticipated Squid Game crossover event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone has sparked excitement—and controversy—among fans. Rumors suggest the event will feature an additional premium event pass, offering exclusive rewards tied to the hit Netflix series. The event is set to launch on January 3, though official details remain limited.
What We Know About the Event
Teased in an official trailer, the Squid Game event promises themed content, including:
Operative Skins: Dress your operator in outfits inspired by Squid Game characters, including a rumored Front Man Operator skin.
Weapon Blueprints: Unique designs styled to match the show's aesthetics.
Event Mechanics: LTMs (Limited-Time Modes) will reportedly incorporate iconic Squid Game challenges like Red Light/Green Light, adding a sinister twist to gameplay.
The Premium Pass Debate
The rumor of an Event Premium Pass comes from a post by user xFleXy_ on X, who shared a screenshot from the game’s interface. The premium pass is said to include access to additional rewards beyond the standard event pass. While Warzone players may expect microtransactions as part of its free-to-play model, criticism has been directed toward Black Ops 6, which already requires a $70 purchase for entry.
Fans argue that adding a premium event pass to a full-priced game feels excessive, especially given ongoing concerns about microtransactions in premium titles. Some also feel the crossover undermines the core themes of Squid Game, which critiques capitalism and exploitation.
More Details Expected Soon
As of now, the cost of the premium pass has not been confirmed. Additional information about the event and its rewards is expected as the January 3 release date approaches.
