A new cinematic trailer from King Kong and Godzilla would Warzone.
Although the arrival of these famous monsters was only revealed a few days ago, leaks and rumors have been suggesting that they would come to Warzone for weeks now. Speculation began to swirl back in February, as reports alleged that Call of Duty was ramping up for something big and ambitious for its third season this year. As most modern Call of Duty players have come to expect, there has already been a significant amount of new content released for the game in 2022, following last year's major shake-up in the form of the new Caldera map for Warzone Pacific. This approach of rapidly cycling content can be observed across all three major Call of Duty platforms: Warzone, Vanguard, and Call of Duty Mobile. There has even been some speculation that Verdansk would be coming to Call of Duty mobile, much to the disappointment of certain fans on console and PC.
Perhaps one of the most significant pieces of new content was detailed in a trailer shared by the Call of Duty Twitter earlier today. The trailer serves to promote Call of Duty: Vanguard's third season and the "Classified Arms" battle , but it also showed off what King Kong and Godzilla will look like in-game, hinting that players will have to work to defeat these monsters after they are activated. The trailer also shows how destructive these monsters can be, with King Kong grabbing a plane out of the air and Godzilla shooting his atomic breath at players. Season three will begin on April 27, but the Godzilla and King Kong content will arrive on May 11.
Activision's famous FPS franchise is no stranger to over-the-top or wacky content, with the recent addition of the Snoop Dogg operator skin to Warzone being an example of this. However, this King Kong and Godzilla mash-up marks a new level of ambition and scale for the series. Fans will have to wait a few weeks to see exactly how these monsters function in-game, but today's trailer certainly makes them seem imposing.
While many fans are sure to be excited about this new content, others might be disappointed that Call of Duty has once again strayed so far from its gritty, boots-on-the-ground roots. Still, the series is doing something out of the ordinary with this King Kong and Godzilla crossover, which will be worth exploring for many gamers.
