Ten years after a devastating mass event, the nation's borders and the balance of global power have been redrawn forever. A superpower no more, its economy and government in ashes, the country's once-mighty military struggles to stave off complete collapse. As what's left of the nation's Special Operations forces, a mysterious group known only as 'Ghosts' leads the fight back against a newly emerged, technologically-superior global power.

Become the Boogeyman on Fog

The Onslaught DLC pack's horror-themed map, Fog, hides a genuinely unhinged surprise: track down a specific Field Order and you transform into Michael Myers himself, mask, oversized knife, and all, while the entire map's music swaps over to John Carpenter's iconic Halloween theme.

A Billion Dollars Before the Sun Came Up

Ghosts launched at over 15,000 midnight openings around the world and reportedly sold more than a billion dollars worth of copies into retail stores on day one alone. Activision was quick to point out that figure counted stock shipped to stores rather than units actually bought by players, but it still made headlines as the fastest a Call of Duty game had ever reached that number.

The End of an Era for Nintendo Fans

Ghosts made it onto the Wii U, but it turned out to be the last mainline Call of Duty game to appear on a Nintendo console for well over a decade. The series wouldn't return to Nintendo hardware until Modern Warfare 4 arrived on the Nintendo Switch 2.
