The Terminator blasts his way into Call of Duty: Warzone this summer

The forthcoming Call of Duty: Warzone midseason update launches soon, and it’ll include a batch of powerful cybernetic organisms. That’s right, after months of rumors, Terminator 2: Judgment Day skins are coming to Warzone this August, in the form of two Operator packs featuring the T-800 and the T-1000.

The Terminator T-800 Mastercraft Ultra Operator Bundle comes with the T-800 Operator skin, along with the Neural Net Processor Ultra Assault Rifle Weapon Blueprint, the Coltan Alloy and Motorhead Legendary Weapon Blueprints, the Always Scanning Charm, the I’ll Be Back Animated Emblem, and the Infrared Optics Reticle.

As for the Terminator T-1000 Ultra Operator Bundle, it’ll include the T-1000 Operator skin, the Liquid Metal SMG, the Persistent Mission Assault Rifle, the Identity Theft LMG, the Alternative Future Watch, the Full Chase Emblem, and the animated Unstoppable Calling Card.

It’s unclear how much each of these bundles will cost, but typically they go for around 2,400 COD Points (or $20) a piece. Activision has yet to reveal the exact release dates of these two bundles, but says they’ll launch “throughout the month of August.” Keep your eyes peeled for in-game store updates throughout the month of August to grab these limited-time cosmetics.

The crossover is in line with some of Call of Duty’s recent in-game events. For instance, the battle royale title recently hosted a Godzilla vs. King Kong showdown in-game.

These two character skins are based on the iconic Terminator 2: Judgment Day film, which debuted in 1991. Hopefully, these two Operator skins will hold us over while we wait for the new, unnamed Terminator survival game, which launches sometime in the distant future.

Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is out to eliminate mobile gaming’s stigma

Activision may be under new ownership at Xbox, but that’s not slowing down its flagship series. After a few years in development, Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is finally launching worldwide under the Microsoft banner. It’s a major moment for the shooter series that’s endured multiple industry changes over its long lineage. The new mobile game is the latest evolution for Call of Duty, bringing a high-quality battle royale experience to phones.

The importance of that evolution isn’t lost on Chris Plummer, the co-head of mobile at Activision. In an interview with Digital Trends ahead of Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile’s launch, Plummer painted a picture of how much has changed in the game industry since Call of Duty Mobile launched in 2019. An industry-shifting war between Epic Games and Apple, an enormous acquisition that’s turned Xbox into a mobile king, and a gradual shift in the general attitude towards mobile games -- all of that has led to this moment. Plummer believes that the old days of players bemoaning cash-grab mobile games are coming to an end. The industry just needed its killer app; he believes Warzone Mobile could be that game.

e3 2021 missing games call of duty

Call of Duty is one of the most successful video game franchises of all time. The original Call of Duty set a new standard for first-person shooters, the series' online multiplayer work has been a must-play for gamers for nearly two decades, and Warzone has been one of the top battle royale experiences of late.

The series has covered a lot of warfare, from World War II to futuristic fictional wars in 2187, but never in any set order. Players have been bounced around from era to era with each annual COD release and even revisited the same conflicts multiple times from different perspectives through direct sequels and remakes.

Activision's popular battle royale game Call of Duty: Warzone is making the jump to mobile in March. Specifically, it launches for iOS and Android devices on March 21.

This is a separate game from Tencent's Call of Duty: Mobile, which is currently available on the App Store and Google Play Store. Call of Duty: Warzone Mobile is made in-house by several Activision teams, including Beenox, Digital Legends, Solid State Studios, and Shanghai Studios. Further signifying that connection is that Warzone Mobile has shared progression with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III and the PC and console versions of Warzone. Payers can level up the same weapons, access content from the BlackCell Battle Pass and store, and gain XP on the same account across all three games. Warzone Mobile will also have full controller support, although it will have a virtual controller overlay that's highly customizable.
