Activision has unveiled 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 collaboration's content and launch date (only described as "soon") remain under wraps, the CODWarfareForum has leaked some potential 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 are also anticipated: skateboards, katanas, nunchucks, and staffs. The crossover's main events are expected to unfold on the Grind map, a skatepark location perfectly suited to the theme.
Despite the announcement, fan reaction 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 prevalent bugs and cheater problem have significantly diminished its player base. This collaboration feels ill-timed, occurring amidst the game's struggles, leaving the future of the crossover uncertain.
