El Asilo Brings the Spirit of Día de Muertos to Call of Duty

The world of Call of Duty is no stranger to festive celebrations, and this time, it’s embracing the vibrant and rich traditions of Día de Muertos. In a recent video release by the official Call of Duty channel, fans got a glimpse of the upcoming ‘El Asilo’ map, which is adorned with marigold flowers, illuminated candles, and an atmosphere that perfectly captures the essence of the Day of the Dead.

Día de Muertos, or Day of the Dead, is a time of celebration, not fear. It’s a moment where respect is shown, and gifts are given to the departed. The video showcases the iconic calaveritas, or little skulls, each representing the deceased. For some, the number of calaveritas might be overwhelming, almost too many to count. But for the players, these skulls serve as a poignant reminder: their time to be honored on the ofrenda, or altar, will come soon.

The haunting yet beautiful visuals of ‘El Asilo’ are set to be a part of “The Haunting in MW2,” which will be available from October 17. With this new addition, players can expect plenty of thrilling action amidst a backdrop that pays homage to a cherished cultural tradition.

Those eager to stay updated with the latest from Call of Duty can follow the game’s official channels on various social media platforms, including Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, and TikTok.
