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 Name of Obligation and Video games Workshop’s grimdark universe set within the far future is probably on the way in which.
It is value noting this crossover stays unannounced, so could not occur. Nevertheless it appears to be like seemingly given the extent of the recordsdata discovered inside the sport.
The art work, revealed throughout varioius accounts together with @CODWarfareForum, @SemtexLeaks, and @FumoLeaksMk1, depicts the mysterious Darkish Angels chapter of the House Marines, and the Sisters of Battle.

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 Name of Obligation’s weapon pool? Maybe extra seemingly is a lasgun of Imperial Guard fame. Actually, I’m stunned House Marines and Sisters of Battle had been chosen as operators, since they’re such a nasty match for Name of Obligation (House 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 Name of Obligation 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 would arrive.
