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 the developers, CODWarfareForum has leaked some unverified details.
The leak suggests player operators will receive skins based on all four turtles (though notably absent are April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and Shredder). New melee weapons are also anticipated: a skateboard, katana, nunchucks, and a staff. The crossover's primary events are expected to unfold on the Grind map, a skatepark setting perfectly suited to the theme.
Despite the announcement, fan reception has been lukewarm. 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 is plagued by bugs and rampant cheating, leading to a significant decline in its player base. The timing of this collaboration, amidst these ongoing issues, has left many players feeling uncertain about its potential impact and duration.
