Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Join Call of Duty

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 heroes have shelled-shocked the Activision shooter universe.

While details on the collaboration's content and launch date (announced as "soon") remain scarce, the CODWarfareForum has offered some unconfirmed leaks. Speculation points to operator skins for all four Turtles—though the absence of April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and Shredder is a notable omission. New melee weapons are also rumored, including a skateboard, katana, nunchucks, and staff. The Grind map, a skatepark, seems the likely location for the crossover's main events.

Despite the announcement, fan reaction has been muted. This isn't due to a lack of popularity for the TMNT franchise, but rather the current state of Black Ops Cold War. The game is struggling with a significant number of bugs and cheaters, resulting in a dwindling player base. This collaboration feels ill-timed, raising questions about its potential impact and longevity amidst the game's current challenges.
