The Predator Is Coming Back to Call of Duty After 11 Years
It looks like Season 6 in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is about to become a hunting ground, as Activision has officially announced this year’s collaborative IP with The Haunting event.
Get ready, because it’s hunting season for everyone’s favorite alien manhunter, The Predator.
The Predator Is Making His Return to Call of Duty
As announced on X (formerly Twitter), the Predator is coming to Call of Duty, after being away from the franchise for nearly 11 years. Call of Duty fans will probably remember that the Predator made its franchise debut in 2014’s Call of Duty: Ghosts as a field order that featured Jagguarnaut, albeit with Predator-themed elements. This time around, it appears that the collaboration will be much bigger, as the Predator is this year’s “The Haunting” collaboration horror icon.

Based on the artwork, it also appears that we are getting nighttime Verdansk, although that remains to be officially announced. The soldier also seems to be holding an MP-40. We’re expecting a lot more with the launch of Season 6, which will be arriving the same day as The Haunting on October 9, 2025. We should receive more details on the seasonal update shortly, so stay tuned for that.
For those curious, any unlocks from this event will not transfer into Black Ops 7 next month, as the studio isn’t supporting carry-forward functionality, as they’ve committed to keeping the experience “authentic” when the game launches next month, to the extent that they’ve already cancelled some major collaborations that were initially planned for Black Ops 7. How long the game will remain like that is anyones guess, and it will be interesting to see what they do for The Haunting next year.
