The new season of Warzone is live, and the fans are excited to try all the content that Activision is planning to add. Among the new additions for the season and the battle pass, the players will have new maps, three new operators, and other weapons and items. One of the main collaborations is Gundam, the popular anime that will have its own skins and weapons in the game.

Some users on X noticed that one of the finishing moves from the BlackCell tier of the battle pass has some similarities to a very popular character from a very popular franchise.

This move is called identity theft and is just like Shang Tsung’s ability to take the looks and abilities of the character that he is fighting with. Fans are very excited about this new finishing move, and they really want to give it a try.

Shang Tsung is Kind of Appearing in the Game

According to the information posted on X, this ability has some limitations. Once you get a different skin than yours, you will not get the voice lines from that character. The only thing that this finishing move does is steal the operator looks with no other addition; it will also work with the reactive skins to level up. Fans are agreeing that it is very creative of Activision to make this kind of move available.

WB Games has not provided any information about this specific move, which is a frequently used ability from the fighting game character. It is not an original power, but many other characters from various franchises possess it. Players are thoroughly enjoying the new abilities and the overall season, which is likely to be one of the game’s final seasons. The release of Black Ops 6 is likely to occur towards the end of the year.

A number of leaks about characters from the Black Ops 6 franchise, including James Woods, the game’s main protagonist, have surfaced ahead of its June 9 reveal. This particular title will have a new zombie mode, a story mode that will not involve Warzone, and other features that will make this a proper game from the IP. Fans are expecting more quality from this entry, not like Modern Warfare 3.
