Everyone knows that Call of Duty isn't afraid of crossovers that might seem a bit too crazy on paper, but Bandai Namco's mid-season Gundam collaboration certainly turned heads and has fans eager to see what this anime shooter event has in store.
Call of Duty X Gundam Event Crossover Trailer (Modern Warfare 3 & Warzone Season 4 MW3 Gundam Event)
Bandai Namco announced the Gundam and CoD season four crossover on X (formerly Twitter) on May 20, with Activision confirming the upcoming CoD collaboration shortly after. Not much was revealed in the 10-second clip: the shadow of a Gundam mecha suit can be seen on the side of a building, apparently located in Japan, with neon lights flashing as the Gundam looks around.
Many players are speculating about what the crossover will include, from Operator bundles featuring characters from the anime series to playable Gundam suits and even a new map.
It’s been over 40 years since Mobile Suit Gundam, an anime series from Sunrise Studio that spawned generations of fans, with its giant mech battles creating a lasting legacy in pop culture. Now that legacy will extend to the world’s biggest shooter, the one that has already made waves with the likes of Dune and Warhammer 40K.
