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 the Turtles have graced an Activision shooter.
While specifics regarding the collaboration's content and launch date ("soon") remain undisclosed by Activision, the CODWarfareForum has leaked potential details. These unconfirmed reports suggest the addition of operator skins for all four Turtles (though notably absent are April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and Shredder). New melee weapons – a skateboard, katana, nunchucks, and a staff – are also rumored, aligning with the Turtles' signature fighting styles. The Grind map, a skatepark, is expected to be a 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 troubled state of Black Ops Cold War. The game's struggles with bugs and rampant cheating have significantly impacted its player base. The timing of this crossover, amidst these ongoing issues, has left many players feeling uncertain about its impact and longevity.
