Following the release of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3’s Season 3 Reloaded update this week, dataminers have unearthed compelling evidence that the shooter is set for a number of eye-catching collaborations for Season 4.
Twitter user @CODWarfareForum shared a screenshot revealing discovered code that mentions Fallout, Gundam, and The Crow as coming with the so-far unannounced Season 4.
The Fallout crossover is clearly timed to coincide with the breakout Prime Video TV show, which itself has boosted interest in all things Fallout in recent weeks. What remains to be seen is whether the Call of Duty content has to do with the TV show or the video games, but given Microsoft owns both Call of Duty and Fallout via subsidiaries Activision and Bethesda, we’re sure it will have been a smooth deal. Power Armor Limited Time Mode, perhaps? Vault jumpsuit skin, maybe?
Meanwhile, The Crow crossover is clearly designed to coincide with the upcoming The Crow movie, starring Bill Skarsgard. This is a reboot and a remake of the cult classic 1994 original, and is set to hit theaters in August. The expectation is Season 4 kicks off on May 29, although Activision has yet to announce a release date.
Call of Duty is no stranger to eye-catching crossovers, of course. It recently collaborated with Games Workshop for Warhammer 40,000 skins and even a limited time mode in which players assumed the role of a Space Marine, all of which were similarly datamined ahead of release.
That’s not all dataminers have found while digging into the latest Call of Duty update. There’s the suggestion that a teaser reveal for this year’s mainline Call of Duty game, reportedly a Black Ops Gulf War game, is set for May, setting up a full reveal during Microsoft’s June Xbox showcase.
