Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will arrive in Call of Duty

Activision has unveiled 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 shelled heroes have graced an Activision shooter.

While specifics regarding the collaboration's content and launch date (slated for "soon") remain undisclosed by the developers, CODWarfareForum has leaked some unverified details. These 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, potentially used for finishers. 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 is plagued by bugs and rampant cheating, resulting in a considerable decline in its player base. The timing of this collaboration, amidst these ongoing issues, has left many questioning its effectiveness and longevity.
