Call of Duty used to be a franchise that would stick to its tone, but in a post-Fortnite world, every game wants a piece of the transmedia pie. Starting in January 2025, Call of Duty will get a crossover with Squid Game, the hit Netflix series.

Call of Duty is diving into unexpected territory with its latest announcement—a crossover with the global sensation Squid Game. This partnership marks yet another bold move by Activision to bring unique and culturally relevant content into the Call of Duty franchise.

Call of Duty has become way more than just a shooter. While the campaigns have more or less stayed the same, including that of Black Ops 6, it's mostly in the multiplayer modes that new innovations and ideas have shined.
