What makes this crossover even more special is the reason behind it. Call of Duty is celebrating 50 years of Hip Hop culture, and the inclusion of Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg in the game is a testament to the genre's enduring influence. As part of this celebration, players can also look forward to enjoying free War Tracks inspired by three decades of Hip Hop music, further enhancing the gaming experience with a touch of cultural nostalgia.
Apart from the celebrity additions, the Season 5 update brings forth other exciting content. Players can expect new weapons like the 9mm ISO submachine gun and the 5.45x39mm AN-94 assault rifle, providing fresh options to customise their loadouts and tackle enemies on the battlefield.
Moreover, multiplayer aficionados will have a blast exploring the newly introduced maps, including Livestock, Petrov Oil Rig, and Harbor, while Warzone 2.0 enthusiasts can venture into the Verdansk Stadium and even hop on a roaming train to keep the action dynamic and intense.
This trend of incorporating famous figures into the game is not entirely new for Call of Duty. Previously, characters from The Boys were introduced as part of the Operator collection, complete with their own unique weapon skins and finishing moves.
With each update, Call of Duty continues to push the boundaries, embracing pop culture, music, and a variety of influences to keep the gaming experience fresh and captivating. As Season 5 approaches, players eagerly await these thrilling additions and wonder what other surprises the game developers have in store for them in the future.
