Recent speculation suggested that Call of Duty 2025 would lock special event modes, such as collaborations like Squid Game, behind a Battle Pass paywall. However, reliable sources have clarified that these claims are inaccurate. All players will continue to have access to limited-time events, with optional premium rewards available for those who purchase the Battle Pass.
How The Rumor Started
A well-known insider initially claimed that Activision planned to restrict seasonal modes to Battle Pass owners, removing the free-to-access model currently in place. The idea was that premium rewards would be integrated directly into the Battle Pass rather than offered as separate purchases. While this would have increased the perceived value of the pass, it would have also limited free players’ access to event content.
What This Means For Players
If the rumor had been true, events like the current High Art collaboration featuring Seth Rogen would have required a Battle Pass purchase. Instead, the existing system remains unchanged—special modes stay free, with optional cosmetic upgrades available for those who want them.
Latest Updates On Call Of Duty 2025
Recent leaks hint that Call of Duty 2025 could be Black Ops 7, continuing the story from Black Ops 2 with returning characters like Woods and Mason. Rumors also suggest a possible open-world campaign with four-player co-op, developed by Treyarch.
Meanwhile, Warzone recently brought back the fan-favorite Verdansk map, leading to a surge in player numbers. Additionally, Black Ops 6 and Warzone Season 3 Reloaded launched new multiplayer maps, including Haven, Signal, and Blazetown.
For now, players can rest assured that limited-time modes won’t be locked behind paywalls—at least not in the upcoming installment. Stay tuned for official updates as more details emerge.
