Call of Duty: Black Ops 6’s new in-game event based on Squid Game will go live at 6pm UK time today (10am PT / 1pm ET), but its coolest rewards are locked behind the event’s own premium battle pass.
As detailed in a new blog post, the Squid Games crossover invites players to “win it all or die trying”, introducing themed awards and multiple limited-time modes across multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone inspired by the hit Netflix show, as well as Pink Guards, VIPs, and the singing, slightly-murderous Red Light Green Light doll, Young-hee.
As noted by IGN, whilst the Squid Game Event Pass offers both a free and premium track, and battle passes are nothing new for beleaguered COD players, this is the first time an event has launched with its own premium battle pass.
