The collaboration adds Squid Game-themed operator skins and weapon blueprints that match the show’s unique style. This news comes just as Squid Game’s second season launches on Netflix, exciting fans of both the game and the series.
Pricing Concerns
Gamers have mixed feelings about this collaboration. Some question if it makes sense, pointing out that Squid Game’s anti-capitalist theme clashes with Call of Duty adding more paid content.
Players who purchased Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 at full price ($70) have voiced concerns about facing additional costs through this premium event pass. Extra content costs make more sense in the free-to-play Warzone, but adding premium passes to the full-priced game has stirred up some debate.
The exact pricing details for the event pass remain unannounced, though more information about rewards and event specifics should surface before the January 3 launch date. This collaboration is one of the biggest TV show crossovers in gaming, bringing together two major franchises for a unique experience.
This partnership stands out for blending two different entertainment worlds in a bold way. If it’s successful, it could pave the way for more gaming and TV collaborations in the future.
