While it may not quite be on par of fellow battle royale title Fortnite, Activision has also been dabbling with new crossover events and cosmetics for its own hit title, Call of Duty: Warzone. As a live service experience, Warzone is constantly changing and evolving around its gameplay loop, ranging from constant updates, new game modes, playable operators, maps, and cosmetic items. Over the past few seasons, Activision has also increased the number of crossovers as well.
So far, Warzone has seen a wide variety of franchises and IPs come to the shooter from operator cosmetics like Snoop Dogg, John McClane from Die Hard, as well as Rambo. In fact, last season saw the Monsterverse come to Warzone through a new in-game event where King Kong rampaged around the Pacific map while Godzilla struck from the coastline. During this event, players could even pick up operator skins of the aforementioned monsters as well as one for Mechagodzilla as well. Now, it appears Activision is looking towards the next major event and has seemingly partnered with Netflix to make it happen.
According to Call of Duty: Warzone dataminers like Reality, new bundles have been discovered buried within the game's files. The description indicates that new tracer packs and blueprints will be potentiall arriving inside of the in-game store. Specifically, the Tracer Pack: Umbrella Academy Cha Cha Bundle comes with Blueprints with blue and pink tracers, randomized mayhem dismemberment, and a mystery Vanguard-only item.
In a follow-up Tweet, Reality also reveals that Warzone players will be able to unlock an exclusive KG M40 Assault Rifle Blueprint, a Legendary Weapon Charm, and a Legendary Calling Card during this promotion as well. Apparently, this bundle can be earned by purchasing two specific Umbrella Academy bundles prior to September 30. Rewards will then be granted at some point later in Season 5.
The leak has left many fans a bit perplexed, though this isn't the first Warzone crossover that was more of a surprise as Attack on Titan featured a couple of operator skins which weren't received too highly by fans. Still, the Netflix show Umbrella Academy remains incredibly popular and relevant as Season 3 launched this past June. The story follows a collection of individuals who were born with abilities and adopted by a billionaire with the sole purpose of saving the world. It's unknown if this event will bring anything more to the game outside of weapons and accessories, so even though part of this crossover was leaked early, there still could be an element of surprise once it's fully revealed.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
