SHOCKWAVE ANNOUNCED: Call Of Duty Mobile Season 9 ‘Midnight Rumble’ Brings WWE Legend The Undertaker to the Fight

The latest major content drop for the globally dominant mobile gaming title, Call of Duty: Mobile, is set to deliver an unprecedented crossover event. Season 9, officially dubbed “Midnight Rumble,” launches on October 1, 2025, blending the game’s intense first-person shooter action with the larger-than-life spectacle of the WWE. Headlining this collaboration is the legendary “Deadman,” The Undertaker, confirming a stunning new dimension of gameplay and collectible content for the massive F2P audience.

This massive new season not only introduces the WWE crossover but also brings back fan-favorite Halloween content, night modes, and a host of new weaponry and cosmetics, cementing CODM’s commitment to frequent, high-value updates that keep the competitive landscape fresh and engaging. The combination of high-profile intellectual property (IP) integration and seasonal updates positions this as one of the most significant microtransaction opportunities of the year.

The WWE Collaboration and The Undertaker Operator

The centerpiece of Season 9: Midnight Rumble is the integration of WWE Superstars, most notably The Undertaker and Alexa Bliss. Players will have multiple avenues to engage with this unique content, driven by a dedicated Limited Time Mode (LTM) and premium draws.

Step Into the Ring: Limited Time Mode

A new Multiplayer LTM titled “Step Into the Ring” transforms the classic CODM combat experience into an aggressive, close-quarters spectacle. This mode is the primary way players can experience the sheer power of the WWE legends:

• Players start equipped only with Prizefighters (boxing gloves) for melee combat.
• Operators who achieve a “hot streak” during the match will transform into a WWE Superstar, such as The Undertaker.
• Once transformed, players gain enhanced health, powerful special abilities, and the ability to execute unique Finishing Moves from any direction—a dramatic and high-impact way to secure an elimination.

Acquiring The Undertaker and Alexa Bliss

For players who want to permanently deploy as “The Deadman” in all game modes, the WWE Operators will be available through separate Lucky Draws, a common mechanic for acquiring rare cosmetics and high-value items in mobile games:

• The Undertaker Draw will feature the Operator Skin alongside a themed weapon blueprint, the Kilo 141 – Skull Screamer.
• The Alexa Bliss Draw will be available separately, paired with the CX9 – Sugarsweet Screamer blueprint.

This monetization strategy capitalizes on the massive fanbases of both Call of Duty and the WWE, driving high CPC (Cost Per Click) and conversion rates for the new seasonal content.

Battle Pass and New Weaponry Deep Dive

The Season 9 Battle Pass is packed with Halloween and wrestling-themed content, offering both a free track and a premium track for dedicated players seeking exclusive rewards.

Battle Pass Highlights:

• New Weapon (Free Tier): The Sten SMG, a World War II-era submachine gun, joins the arsenal. Known for its side-mounted magazine, the Sten promises to be a viable option for close-to-mid-range engagements in both Multiplayer and Battle Royale.
• New Scorestreak (Free Tier): A variant of the Sentry Gun Scorestreak will be available.
• Premium Operator Skins: The premium tier includes spooky, Halloween-inspired skins such as Ajax – Insanely Jacked (a jack-o’-lantern theme) and Seraph – Witch’s Holiday.
• New Weapon Blueprints (Premium Tier): High-tier weapon blueprints include the Fennec – Glorious Grudge and the XM4 – Magmatic Disruptor.

Mythic Weapon and Legendary Free Rewards

Beyond the Battle Pass, Season 9 introduces a new Mythic Draw and a highly valuable in-game event:

• Mythic Type 25 – Deepstar Piercer: The new Mythic-tier weapon blueprint will be available in the Deepstar Wraith Mythic Drop, paired with the new Tiangu – Deepstar Assassin Operator Skin. This is a crucial element of the game’s high-value digital goods economy.
• Free Legendary Blueprint: The Rock Rampage Event allows players to earn Power Chords through gameplay, which can be used to unlock the FFAR – Shredder Legendary Blueprint—a significant reward for a free-to-play event.

Halloween Haunts and Returning Modes

In addition to the wrestling mayhem, Midnight Rumble delivers a robust package of seasonal, spooky content for the October release window, a major boon for player retention and daily active users (DAU).

• Haunted Hacienda: The Halloween-themed variant of the Hacienda map returns, complete with ghostly ships, jack-o’-lanterns, and a full moon illuminating the map.
• Night Falls on Isolated: For the first time since 2020, the popular Battle Royale map Isolated returns to its original night mode setting, forcing players to adjust tactics and loadouts to cope with reduced visibility.
• Returning Modes: Fan-favorite seasonal modes like Attack of the Undead and Hordepoint (Zombies-themed Hardpoint) will also make a comeback, providing variety for all types of players.

With its potent mix of pop culture crossover, high-value rewards, and classic seasonal content, Call of Duty: Mobile Season 9: Midnight Rumble is set to dominate the mobile entertainment landscape throughout the holiday period. Players should prepare for the “gong” sound effect to accompany their next kill in the field, as the “Deadman” has finally arrived.
