Activision has revealed a new crossover event for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone, bringing back the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This isn't the first time these heroes have graced an Activision shooter.
While specifics regarding the crossover's content and launch date (announced as "soon") remain undisclosed, the CODWarfareForum website has leaked some unverified details.
Rumored additions include operator skins for all four turtles (though the absence of April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and Shredder is notable). New melee weapons and finishers are also anticipated, including a skateboard, katana, nunchucks, and a staff. The Grind map, a skatepark, is expected to be the central location for the crossover events.
Despite the announcement, fan reception has been muted. This isn't due to a lack of popularity for the TMNT franchise, but rather the current troubled state of Black Ops Cold War. The game's pervasive bugs and rampant cheating have significantly diminished its player base. The timing of this collaboration, amidst these ongoing issues, has left many players feeling uncertain about its impact and longevity.
