There were a lot of rumors and leaks about the highly anticipated crossover between Call of Duty and the Warhammer 40K universe. In February, a COD MW3 data miner revealed that Activision will be collaborating with Warhammer 40K to bring themed skins to Season 2. In January as well, two other data miners stated the same when they found out about Warhammer 40K-themed assets such as game modes, loading screens, etc.
Now, after several speculations, the rumor has come to light as the developers themselves have announced their collaboration with the famous miniature wargame Warhammer 40K. Let’s dive into the article and find out what’s waiting for Call of Duty fans.
Call of Duty x Warhammer 40K Is Confirmed
The official X (formerly Twitter) handle of Call of Duty confirmed on March 1, 2024, that this popular FPS title will be collaborating with the fan-favorite miniature wargame. In that X post, a dead Space Marine can be seen lying in front of a castle in Warzone‘s Fortune’s Keep map.

In this crossover, fans are going to be treated to Space Marines, Sister of Battle, and Astra Militraium skins, along with many other Warhammer 40K theme-based items. There are speculations as well that there will be an in-game event based on the wargame as a part of the collaboration.
However, the post didn’t mention the expected release date of this tie-up. According to the recent leaks and rumors, this crossover could surface in the Season 2 Reloaded update.
Additional Rumors Regarding This Exciting Crossover in Call of Duty
Credible data miner The OfficeCOD posted a video on X teasing the Warhammer 40K-themed Marine skins. The two Space Marine skins looked bulky with similar silhouettes. Among those two skins, one was blue, and the other was red. In Warhammer, Space Marines are probably the most popular characters. So, their addition to this FPS title is quite understandable.

The fun fact is that the skins look quite heavy and big, identical to COD‘s Juggernaut suit. So, these skins might be used in the Juggernaut kill streaks. The developers previously confirmed that the Juggermosh LTM will be available in Season 2 of Modern Warfare 3. So, there might be an indication that this event will be launched at the same time.
According to other rumors, this Warhammer 40K event might feature themed loading skins, some unique game modes, and themed in-game bosses in multiplayer modes or zombie modes.
The highly anticipated crossover between Call of Duty and Warhammer 40K is finally announced. There is no official announcement about the release date yet. But all eyes will be on March 6, 2024, when the Season 2 update will be released.
