The Haunting of Verdansk also adds Zombie Royale

Call of Duty is hosting another horror crossover for Halloween, and this year, Billy the Puppet from Saw and Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre are here to play. Don’t be alarmed if you see them running around in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or Call of Duty: Warzone. Well, be a little alarmed.

Activision has a full recap of the Haunting of Verdansk – the event starts October 20 and will stick around until November 3 – but there’s also a quick and to-the-point roadmap below in one easy image.

Aside from the premium Saw and TCM skin bundles (for Morte and Velikan, respectively), Warzone is getting a “nighttime” variant, there are Trick or Treat supply boxes to collect (with 16 total rewards to find), and Zombie Royale mode will skip the Gulag skirmishes in favor of turning fallen players into zombies who can move faster, jump higher, hit harder, and rely on thermal vision to stalk their prey.

“When a player is killed, they drop a syringe that shows up on the map. Collect two of these Syringes as a Zombie and you’ll parachute back in with your loadout on your Squad for a second chance! The last squad standing with a surviving Operator wins… even if the rest of the squad has turned undead.”

Even if the horror movie outfits are way too pricey ($20!), I always appreciate a good Halloween event.
