Black Ops 6 comes with a Squid Game themed event. New “Premium” event tickets and special rewards will be available to players.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6announced a new Squid Game themed event. The event, which will start on January 3, 2025, will offer players the opportunity to win special rewards. A special event ticket called “Premium Track” will be included in the game and will provide more rewards and content. As part of the event, an operator called Front Man, inspired by Squid Game, is expected to be included in the game. However, it is not yet clear whether some of this content will be offered for free or completely “premium”.
Premium Event Pass in Black Ops 6
This new event ticket, which will be featured in Black Ops 6, is compared to similar systems offered in games such as Fortnite and Apex Legends. However, while these games can be played for free, the fact that Black Ops 6 is a full-price game can lead to controversy among players. The new “Premium Track” will reward players with additional rewards by offering special costumes, operators, and other cosmetic content during the Squid Game event.
The game’s previous microtransaction systems were criticized by players. For example, one of the previous contents, the finishing move called “unicorn fart” and a special $50 character pack, caused great controversy in the community. It is a matter of curiosity what kind of response the new event ticket will receive.
Black Ops 6’s paid content policy raises “pay-to-win” concerns among players. There are criticisms that some cosmetic content added to the game recently provide in-game advantages. The “Premium Track” that will come with the Squid Game event may further fuel these discussions.
The Squid Game collaboration could be a source of great excitement for fans of the popular series. The Front Man operator and other content inspired by the series aim to offer players a new experience. However, how accessible this content will be will determine the success of the event.
