Call of Duty Dataminers Discover Surprise Potential Warhammer 40,000 Crossover

ign.com:

Here’s a potential crossover we didn’t expect: Call of Duty and Warhammer 40,000.

Dataminers did their thing following the release of the troubled Season 1 Reloaded update for Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, and discovered artwork that reveals the collaboration between Call of Duty and Games Workshop’s grimdark universe set in the far future is potentially on the way.

It's worth noting this crossover remains unannounced, so may not happen. But it looks likely given the extent of the files found within the game.

The artwork, revealed across varioius accounts including @CODWarfareForum, @SemtexLeaks, and @FumoLeaksMk1, depicts the mysterious Dark Angels chapter of the Space Marines, and the Sisters of Battle.

The Dark Angels are currently the focus of interest within the 40,000 universe following the dramatic return of their primarch, Lion El'Jonson to the ongoing storyline, as well as the release of a number of new Dark Angels models. The Sisters of Battle, aka the Adepta Sororitas, are an all-female group of elite warriors who worship the Emperor and travel the galaxy snuffing out heretics and xenos scum.

The datamines have revealed loading screens that some are taking to suggest the operators potentially set for this collaboration: Interrogator-Chaplain Boreas of the Dark Angels, and Helewise of the Sisters of Battle. Both characters are lifted from Warhammer 40,000 novels.

There is also word of Warhammer 40,000 bosses coming to Call of Duty (Baton Jailer, Swamp Monster (Fenbeast), Orgre Butcher and Mummy), perhaps in a Warhammer 40,000-themed limited-time event. And new execution strings found within the game files suggest Warhammer 40,000’s famous chainsword is coming to Call of Duty.
