Activision has revealed a fresh 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 the turtle team has graced an Activision shooter.
While specifics regarding the collaboration's content and launch date (described only as "soon") remain undisclosed by the developers, the CODWarfareForum website has leaked some unconfirmed details.
Rumored additions include operator skins for all four Turtles (though notably absent are April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and Shredder). New melee weapons and finishing moves are also anticipated, potentially including a skateboard, katana, nunchucks, and a staff. The crossover's main events are expected to unfold on the Grind map, a skatepark setting 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 stems from the current troubled state of Black Ops Cold War. The game is plagued by bugs and rampant cheating, significantly impacting its player base. The timing of this collaboration, amidst these ongoing issues, has left many players uncertain about its reception and longevity.
