As a long-time Call of Duty gamer with over a decade of experience, I’ve seen my fair share of shocking resurrections and unexpected plot twists. The deaths of beloved characters like Alex Mason and Jason Hudson in Black Ops 6 have left me feeling both apprehensive and intrigued.
In various universes like Marvel and Game of Thrones, as well as in gaming worlds, coming back to life after apparently dying is a common theme. Characters such as Commander Shepard, Albert Wesker, and Big Boss are just a few examples of this phenomenon.
In the world of Call of Duty, characters such as Frank Woods, Phillip Graves, and Alex Mason have unexpectedly returned from the dead. However, it seems that in Black Ops 6, some fatalities may be permanent. Yet, fans are determined to find a workaround.
Call of Duty fans are already trying to save Hudson and Mason
“The demise of Mason and Hudson will have a significant impact on Woods in Black Ops 6: an unfortunate turn of events.” (Alternatively, “Mason and Hudson’s deaths will leave a profound mark on Woods in Black Oops 6.”)

I.T. (Infinity Ward) has faced criticism for keeping their character roster alive, but fortunately, Treyarch is now leading the development of Black Ops 6, showing a clear intent to bring about a bloodbath. Previously, we knew that the game would adopt the unfavorable ending from Black Ops 2, resulting in the demise of Mason and Jason Hudson. Now, this decision has been confirmed.
On a recent episode of the authentic Call of Duty podcast, Stephanie Snowden, Activision’s Senior Director of Communications, clarified some misconceptions about the game’s chronology and identified which edition of Black Oops 2 is considered canonic.
In addition to setting the campaign in 1991, Snowden revealed that it connects to the Black Ops: Cold War storyline but is rooted in the 1980s timeframe of Black Ops 2. She clarified, “Unfortunately, Hudson and Mason have met their end, yes, they’re deceased.”
I was taken aback when she asserted, “Many were perplexed about that,” but she firmly insisted, “They’re gone.” The implications of this revelation are profound, as Snowden shares his deep sorrow and anguish over the loss of his two companions at Raul Menendez’s hands.
Though it seems clear that Hudson and Mason will stay buried, some fans aren’t entirely convinced. In response to a post by Charlie Intel regarding Hudson and Mason, a fan pointed out, “Mason’s death isn’t definitively confirmed.”
In Black Ops 2’s finale, Woods assumed Mason was deceased. Regardless of Mason’s survival, Woods continued to carry the emotional burden of what he believed was the loss of his dearest friend. Hudson unfortunately met his end.
From my perspective as a dedicated fan, if they had actually shot Mason in the chest instead of the head during that pivotal moment, we fans would have been left guessing if Woods had truly killed him. And let me tell you, with the team’s knack for pulling off unexpected twists and given Snowden’s heavy emphasis on Mason’s demise, such a deception would have been an ingenious red herring to keep us on our toes.
Due to Black Ops 2 having two timelines, there’s currently a lot of uncertainty regarding where Black Oops 6 fits in the intricate Call of Duty universe. Eliminating Hudson and Mason from the picture simplifies matters, but given the writers’ tendency to keep things unpredictable, we can’t rule out any possibility until the last moment of the game.
