Following the example of games like Fortnite, the Call of Duty series has also managed to create some of the most original collaborations in recent years. For example, Modern Warfare 3 has already included several collaborations in the past, and it seems that another one is on the way.
According to leaks, the game will add three new cel-shaded maps, commemorating a possible collaboration with the Borderlands franchise. August marks the release of the live-action movie for this IP.
It Seems That Modern Warfare 3 and Borderlands Will Collaborate
In recent years, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has been characterized by countless collaborations, very similar to what Fortnite constantly does. These crossovers have worked very well to sell all kinds of additional content.
The game already features well-known franchises like Godzilla, Attack on Titan, Dune, and many others. According to new leaks, it seems that a new collaboration is coming soon.
Three maps that will receive cel-shaded treatment may have leaked, according to a popular account on X that specializes in franchise news.

There are very few reasons why the studio would decide to do this, but speculations suggest a possible collaboration with the Borderlands saga, which uses this animation technique for its games. As the movie is coming out soon, this news may be confirmed.
Call of Duty Could Be Aiming for Another Big Collaboration
Many users didn’t know how to react to this announcement, but there are many indications that Gearbox’s IP could arrive in Call of Duty in a very original way.
For now, Activision has not confirmed or announced any collaboration, but the new season of Modern Warfare 3 is coming very soon. Few users bet that this collaboration will materialize.
The new season of this title has not yet revealed any content. However, Activision usually gives the full roadmap a couple of days before it launches, showing everything that the season will feature.
The confirmed maps that will have cel-shaded treatment are Rust, which will be renamed ‘Toonoxide,’ Shipment, which will be ‘Celship,’ and finally, Stash House as ‘Ink House.’
On July 24, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 will launch, likely marking one of the final seasons before the official release of Black Ops 6.
Beyond the date confirmation, Activision has not yet revealed any trailers or major details about what this new content will contain. This would be the title’s fifth content season.
