Season 06 brings a haunting good time to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Warzone players (including Spawn)

Todd McFarlane’s hellacious superhero is coming to Call of Duty, but he’s just a part of the Halloween-themed Season 06.

Where’s Polterguy?

Wow is there a hell of a lot of Halloween content coming to Activision’s premier shooter series. Dubbed “The Haunting”, Season 06 for Call of Duty’s current crop of titles is looking to crank up the horror, and that includes both unholy terrors and guest Operators. While yes, multiple versions of comic book hero Spawn (and related characters) are coming up, there’s so much more and it’s all pretty freaking cool.

For starters, Spawn will be joined by Operators that include characters and licenses like Skeletor, Evil Dead 2, and Hellsing. But that’s just the stem o’ the pumpkin, because there’s also a Diablo crossover that will see Lilith and Inarius take the battlefield, and the addition of a Doom Weapon Bundle. That makes us wonder how Lilith would do against a BFG blast…

Oh but don’t daydream too much, because even all of that’s far from all. Season 06 will also pack in 4 new maps, new weaponry, and the return of The Haunting. A good chunk of the trick-or-treat action kicks off for all versions of Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2.0 on September 27th at 9am pacific time, with The Haunting content going live on October 17th.

CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE OVERVIEW

• Operation Nightmare is a GO: Coming at mid-season, investigate eldritch anomalies across the map, and face a host of monstrous targets as you gradually clear a Bounty board of otherworldly terrors!
• Welcome to Vondead: A demonic incantation unleashed an uncontained zombie outbreak across Vondel. The undead have ravaged the streets under a bloodred moon. Shocking secrets are waiting to be discovered!
• Zombie Royale is back for both maps: Tear into this infamous limited-time mode at mid-season, with all-new innovations but the same chaotic premise — return to battle as a fast-moving Zombie. Survive, or get eaten!
