In January, Call of Duty players were abuzz with excitement as dataminers unearthed various Warhammer 40K-themed elements hidden in the game files. These discoveries included new medals and loading screens, prompting speculation about an upcoming crossover event. Some dataminers even suggested the possibility of a new game mode accompanying the collaboration, based on unique medals found in the files.

Details Confirmation
Putting an end to the speculations, Call of Duty's official X account recently confirmed the Warhammer 40K crossover, featuring iconic elements like Space Marines, Sisters of Battle, and Astra Militarum as skins. Accompanying the announcement was a brief video teaser, showcasing a fallen Space Marine in Warzone's Fortune's Keep map. Despite the lack of specific details and a launch date, fans can anticipate more information to be unveiled in the upcoming weeks.
Insights into Potential Game Features
Leaks have provided players with a sneak peek into what the Warhammer 40K event might entail. A leaked image showcased two Space Marine skins, raising questions about a potential Juggernaut-centric gameplay mode. The bulky appearance of the skins and their association with "juggernaut" in the files suggest an exciting twist to the traditional Call of Duty experience.
While dataminers also hinted at a Riot Shield blueprint, a new melee sword weapon, and a limited-time game mode, it's crucial to note that these additions remain unconfirmed by Call of Duty. The Riot Shield blueprint, adorned with religious, steampunk iconography, and a red-tinted material, adds an air of mystery to the potential content of the crossover.
As players await the Warhammer 40K event, Call of Duty's ongoing The Walking Dead event, running until March 6, offers a more straightforward experience. While not as feature-rich as previous events, it provides an opportunity for players to unlock exclusive Walking Dead-themed items by earning XP.
