Exciting Collaboration: Call of Duty and The Walking Dead Join Forces

Highlights

  • Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 partners with The Walking Dead, introducing iconic characters Rick and Michonne into the game.
  • The collaboration hints at the potential addition of more characters from The Walking Dead in future seasons, mirroring the successful The Boys collaboration.
  • The release date for the Call of Duty and Walking Dead crossover remains undisclosed, but it is anticipated to coincide with Season 2 of Modern Warfare 3.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has unveiled an exciting new crossover, this time teaming up with the renowned apocalyptic TV series, The Walking Dead. As Season 1 Reloaded just introduced two characters from The Boys, along with the new 6v6 Rio map and more, the game appears to be gearing up for its next major season.

Despite being on the market for just two and a half months, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has already integrated prominent characters from the film and television industry. In the lead-up to Denis Villeneuve's highly anticipated sci-fi sequel, Dune: Part Two, Call of Duty added franchise protagonist Paul Atreides and antagonist Feyd-Rautha as purchasable operators in Modern Warfare 3. The recent Season 1 Reloaded also marked the return of Amazon's The Boys with the introduction of Firecracker and A-Train in Modern Warfare 3.

As Season 1 of Modern Warfare 3 nears its end, Call of Duty has announced its next major crossover, this time with the popular zombie apocalypse TV show The Walking Dead. The game released a YouTube video that recreates The Walking Dead's iconic show opener using shots from what appears to be MWZ's Urzikstan map, complete with the same grimy sepia filter and iconic music. The trailer featured cameo appearances of The Walking Dead's pivotal characters, Rick and Michonne, as well as Modern Warfare 3's own Vladimir Makarov.

While The Walking Dead boasts a plethora of compelling characters, it seems fitting that the collaboration will introduce Rick and Michonne as leaders of the show's ensemble, considering that these Call of Duty partnerships typically involve two operators at a time. This collaboration could potentially evolve into a long-term partnership with The Walking Dead, bringing more characters from the show into the game's roster in future seasons, akin to the return of A-Train and Firecracker from The Boys. The trailer also hints at a possible Walking Dead-themed refresh or event coming to MWZ, although the specifics remain shrouded in mystery.

The Release Date

The trailer did not specify a concrete release date for this monumental Call of Duty crossover. However, it is reasonable to anticipate that The Walking Dead may take center stage in Modern Warfare 3's Season 2. Fans should stay tuned for further Call of Duty updates as Season 1 draws to a close in the upcoming weeks.
