Dataminers did their factor following the discharge of the troubled Season 1 Reloaded replace for Fashionable Warfare 3 and Warzone, and found art work that reveals the collaboration between Call of Duty and Video games Workshop’s grimdark universe set within the far future is doubtlessly on the way in which.
It is price noting this crossover stays unannounced, so might not occur. However it appears possible given the extent of the information discovered inside the recreation.
The art work, revealed throughout varioius accounts together with @CODWarfareForum, @SemtexLeaks, and @FumoLeaksMk1, depicts the mysterious Darkish Angels chapter of the Area Marines, and the Sisters of Battle.

There’s additionally phrase of Warhammer 40,000 bosses coming to Call of Duty (Baton Jailer, Swamp Monster (Fenbeast), Orgre Butcher and Mummy), maybe in a Warhammer 40,000-themed limited-time occasion.

That’s all we’ve got for now, which leaves us room for some enjoyable hypothesis. Maybe the collaboration will embody the discharge of Warhammer 40,000’s well-known boltgun into Call of Duty’s weapon pool? Maybe extra possible is a lasgun of Imperial Guard fame. Truthfully, I’m stunned Area Marines and Sisters of Battle have been chosen as operators, since they’re such a foul match for Call of Duty (Area Marines are eight-foot tall and put on hulking energy armour!) I’d have thought troopers from the Imperial Guard, which is made up of largely human models, would have been a greater match. However in a world during which Call of Duty has an operator who’s principally Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy, something goes I suppose.
Within the right here and now, Activision is working to revive order after Season 1 Reloaded just about broke Warzone. Over in Fashionable Warfare 3, Ranked Play was delayed on the final minute, and there’s nonetheless no phrase on when it can arrive.
