Start time for Black Ops 6 Warzone Season 6 and countdown to the spooky new maps, skins and modes

Black Ops 6 may be on the decline, but it's not out for the count yet, as it launches The Haunting and unveils its latest season packed with maps and a fresh Battle Pass.

It almost feels like we're bidding farewell to Black Ops 6, but that hasn't deterred Activision from diving headfirst into new content to gear players up for the spooky season.

The now-prolonged Black Ops 7 beta is in full throttle, primarily diverting players to the new game rather than the existing one that's still clinging onto its playerbase. However, this is likely to shift when the Black Ops 6 free week springs into action simultaneously with the upcoming seasonal launch (and, fortuitously, the release of Battlefield 6). It's a lot to digest, leading to a real flux of players dipping in and out of the current Call of Duty flagship title.

But there's more in store to give the game a much-needed boost, with some eerie new cosmetics and modes set to debut alongside some thrilling maps, such as Gravity, which doesn't shy away from lifting its soldiers off the ground into a zero-G battle for survival. The update is introducing a new darker, foggy atmosphere across the game (especially in the notably kitsch Boo-Town), perfect for the entrance of Jason Voorhees and Chucky, who are poised to wreak havoc across the maps in the Slasher Deathmatch.

The update promises a festive and fun-filled experience, and players won't have to wait much longer to dive in when the Battlefield 6 release time arrives. So, when exactly can we immerse ourselves?
