Activision has announced 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 shelled heroes have graced an Activision shooter.
While details on the collaboration's content and launch date (other than "soon") remain scarce, the CODWarfareForum has offered some unverified insights. Speculation points towards operator skins for all four turtles—though the absence of April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and Shredder is notable. New melee weapons are also rumored, including a skateboard, katana, nunchucks, and a staff. The Grind map, a fitting skatepark setting, is expected to be central to the crossover events.
However, fan reaction has been muted, not due to a lack of enthusiasm for the TMNT franchise, but rather due to the current state of Black Ops Cold War. The game is struggling with a significant number of bugs and cheaters, leading to a decline in its player base. This collaboration feels somewhat ill-timed, occurring amidst these ongoing issues, leaving players uncertain about its potential impact and longevity.
