Activision Planning a ‘Call of Duty: Warzone’ Crossover With King Kong and Godzilla?
In one of those “out there” news items, Call of Duty: Warzone may soon be getting a visit from the likes of Godzilla and King Kong. According to Xfire, Activision is potentially planning on having the King Kong and Godzilla arrive for events in Warzone later this year, in addition to “more spectacular global in-game events” planned.
Xfire states that they were provided with images from a now-deleted Twitter account. Among the images were “King Kong swatting a WW2 plane out of the sky whilst soldiers aimed rifles at him in the distance” and “Godzilla destroying troops below with a bright blue beam”.
Granted, these images were concept art, but the noteworthy aspect of these images was that they were alongside Warzone Season 2 images. Season 2 of Warzone kicked off on February 14th, if you’re wondering.
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that Activision would be pulling out all the stops with crossovers, having already seen the likes of Scream and Donnie Darko a few months back, as well as Judge Dredd, Rambo and Die Hard prior to that. According to the article, Activision has “bold plans” for Warzone, comparing Epic Games’ Fortnite and its approach to in-game events.
However, the article stresses that this is not necessarily a sure thing. Given the timing, as neither Godzilla or Kong have a movie on the way at the moment, it might all just be an idea put to concept that was floated by the developers. If anything, it would make more sense to have a crossover with Jurassic World Dominion, which arrives this summer.
But hey, you never know.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and Xbox Series.
