Activision has unveiled an exciting new crossover event for fans of the online shooter Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Call of Duty: Warzone, bringing back the beloved heroes from the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) series. This marks another thrilling appearance of the four charismatic turtles in an Activision title, following their previous stints in the gaming world.
While the developers have kept the specifics under wraps, announcing only that the collaboration will roll out "soon," the community at CODWarfareForum has been buzzing with unconfirmed leaks and speculation. According to these sources, players can expect to see operator skins for all four TMNT protagonists—Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. Although fans are hoping for additional characters like April O'Neil, Master Splinter, and the villain Shredder, they have not been mentioned in the leaks.
The crossover is rumored to introduce new melee weapons tailored for close combat or finishers, including a skateboard, katana, nunchucks, and a staff. These additions are expected to resonate well with the TMNT theme. The main events of this crossover are speculated to unfold on the Grind map, a skatepark that perfectly complements the turtles' urban, action-packed environment.
Despite the excitement around the TMNT collaboration, the fanbase's reaction has been lukewarm. This isn't due to any lack of love for the TMNT franchise, but rather stems from ongoing issues with Black Ops 6. The game has been plagued by bugs and rampant cheating, leading to a significant decline in its online player base. Many feel that introducing a major collaboration during such a tumultuous period seems ill-timed, leaving players uncertain about when (or if) these problems will be resolved.
