Call of Duty is Adding TMNT Villain Shredder as a Playable Character

gamerant.com:

A new teaser revealed by Call of Duty shows that Shredder, the main villain in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, will be coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. This addition comes midway through Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's second season.

The cosmetic offerings for Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 are usually meant for to the game's existing array of Operators, or playable characters. When skins feature licensed characters, though, they can take up their own unique character slot and feature voice lines exclusive to that character. This was the case for characters like Rambo and Die Hard's John McClane when they were added to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Other times, though, licensed skins are for pre-existing operators and don't have their own slot, as was the case for Saw's Billy the Puppet and Texas Chainsaw Massacre's Leatherface when they appeared in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.

Some Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Stats Are Inaccurate

While the name Shredder isn't explicitly mentioned in the teaser, it's safe to assume, based on what we see of his iconic design, that this is indeed the fan-favorite TMNT villain. So far, Modern Warfare 2 has yet to add any licensed characters added to the game, meaning that Shredder would be the first. The end of the teaser also mentions Call of Duty: Warzone 2, meaning it's likely that Shredder will appear as an operator in both games. The video gives us an extremely close look at the upcoming character. We see his iconic helmet, sharp claws, and boots before the camera pulls out at the end to reveal a full-body silhouette of Shredder wielding two swords. And if that wasn't enough to point to this being Shredder, the tweet also includes ninja and sword emojis.
