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 collaboration's content and launch date (only described as "soon") remain undisclosed by Activision, leaks from CODWarfareForum suggest potential additions.
Reportedly, players can expect operator skins for all four Turtles (though the absence of April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and Shredder is noted). New melee weapons and finishers are also rumored, including a skateboard, katana, nunchucks, and a staff. The Grind map, a skatepark, is speculated to be the central location for crossover events.
Fan reaction has been muted, not due to a lack of popularity for the TMNT franchise, but rather the current troubled state of Black Ops Cold War. The game's struggles with bugs and rampant cheating have significantly impacted its player base. This crossover feels like a last-ditch effort amidst a crisis, leaving the community uncertain about its impact and longevity.
