Potential reason behind the extension

The exact reason for the event's extension remains unknown. However, if the event had ended on its originally scheduled date, the last few days of Season 1 would be any unique elements for players to engage with. Since Season 2 is set to introduce various new features, the Squid Game 2 event can help keep players engaged in the interim.

The event's modes have been well-received by players across all game modes, including Black Ops 6 Multiplayer, Zombies, and Warzone. Each major mode features a unique limited-time mode tied to the event, making gameplay more engaging and enjoyable. Additionally, the event offers exciting rewards for players, providing an incentive to complete milestones. The extension gives players who haven’t finished all tasks an opportunity to earn these rewards.

By keeping the event live until the season's conclusion, the developers have ensured that players can continue enjoying these elements for the remainder of Season 1. However, it remains unclear whether the Squid Game 2 bundles —Squid Game 2: Pink Guards Tracer Pack, Squid Game 2: The VIPs Tracer Pack, and Squid Game 2: Young-hee Tracer Pack — will also remain available through this extended period.
