|content=[[Companies/Activision Blizzard|Activision Blizzard]] has revealed the first collaboration for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 (BO6), and it's with one of the most talked-about shows in recent years: Squid Game. The partnership, which will celebrate the premiere of the show's highly anticipated second season, is set to launch in January 2025.

Squid Game, the South Korean survival drama that took the world by storm in 2021, will make its way into the Call of Duty universe, bringing its unique, high-stakes game show concept to the franchise. The collaboration will likely include exclusive cosmetic bundles such as skins, weapon blueprints, and stickers, as seen in previous Call of Duty crossovers. However, the real excitement is centered around the possibility of limited-time modes (LTM) inspired by the show's deadly challenges.

In Squid Game, contestants participate in twisted versions of children's games where the stakes are deadly: winning advances you in the game, while losing means facing lethal consequences. One of the most iconic scenes from the series is a game similar to “Red Light, Green Light,” where players must freeze while a giant doll scans for movement—anyone caught moving is instantly shot. Given Call of Duty's long history of creative game modes, fans are eager to see how the franchise could adapt this chilling concept into a multiplayer LTM.

Season 2 of Squid Game premieres on December 26, 2024, more than three years after the original season captivated audiences worldwide. The show, which had a modest production budget of around $21 million, was so successful that its valuation soared to over $900 million, according to a CNBC report.

Activision has yet to reveal further details about the collaboration, but the initial teaser has already generated significant buzz.
