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 title.
While details remain scarce, with Activision only confirming a "soon" release date, CODWarfareForum has leaked some potential content. The rumored additions include operator skins for all four turtles (though the absence of April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and Shredder is disappointing to some). New melee weapons are also anticipated: 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 reaction has been muted. This isn't due to a lack of popularity for the TMNT franchise, but rather stems from the current state of Black Ops Cold War. The game is struggling with a high number of bugs and cheaters, leading to a significant player exodus. The timing of this collaboration, amidst these ongoing issues, has left many players feeling uncertain about its impact and longevity.
