Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 and Warzone's Season 06 update, The Haunting, is bringing DOOM into the mix with a dedicated DOOM Event Pass, giving players a track of DOOM Slayer operator skins and weapon blueprints to unlock alongside the season's regular horror-themed content.
Crossover event passes have become Call of Duty's standard way of monetizing a licensed tie-in without folding it into the main battle pass, and the DOOM partnership fits a pattern the franchise has leaned on before, pairing a horror-adjacent season with a recognizable outside IP. DOOM's aesthetic, heavy metal, demons, a lone armored protagonist, maps cleanly onto a Halloween-season content drop in a way that makes the crossover feel less random than most.
The Season 06 update is not limited to the DOOM content. Activision's own season blog covers additional Haunting-themed material across both Black Ops 7 and Warzone, though the trailer Activision sent to press specifically frames the DOOM Event Pass as the headline addition, which suggests the DOOM license is doing the marketing heavy lifting for a season that otherwise reads as a standard content drop.
What is not clear from the trailer or the accompanying announcement is pricing for the Event Pass itself, or how many DOOM-themed items it actually contains beyond the operator skins and blueprints mentioned. Event passes in past Call of Duty seasons have ranged widely in scope, so buyers deciding whether the DOOM tie-in is worth paying for will need to check the in-game store listing once Season 06 goes live rather than relying on the marketing trailer alone.
Full season details, including the rest of The Haunting's content, are available on the Call of Duty blog.
