Warhammer 40K Coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone

Activision has officially confirmed that a Warhammer 40K crossover event is coming soon to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone after months of speculation and leaks. 

This collaboration between the legendary sci-fi franchise and Call of Duty promises to bring some epic new cosmetics and gameplay to Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. 

But what exactly can players expect from the event, and when will it launch?

Official Announcement Creates Hype

Speculation about a potential Warhammer 40K event has been swirling for months, ever since dataminers uncovered game files referring to Space Marine skins and medals back in January. 

However, Activision finally made things official by tweeting a teaser video showing a dead Warhammer Space Marine on Warzone’s Fortunes Keep map.

The Warhammer crossover represents Call of Duty’s continued push into new partnerships after successful integrations of franchises like Godzilla, Attack on Titan, and The Boys.

Warhammer 40K’s grim dark future of all-out galactic war seems like an exciting fit for Call of Duty’s frenetic FPS combat. 

Leaked Details Point to New Skins, Weapons, and Mode

While Activision has remained tight-lipped about the event’s full details, dataminers and leaks have revealed potential additions coming alongside it.

• Warhammer 40K themed medals
• A bulky Space Marine armor that looks similar to Call of Duty’s Juggernaut killstreaks.
• The Space Marine skins’ file names reference “Juggernaut,” suggesting new Juggernaut-focused mode
• Modern Warfare 3’s first Riot Shield blueprint arriving themed around Warhammer 40K’s religious, steampunk aesthetic.
• Skins for other Warhammer 40K factions like the Sisters of Battle and Astra Militarum 
• A new melee sword weapon  – Soulrender
• New finishing moves themed based on Warhammer 40K
• A limited-time gameplay mode 

Of course, these details are unconfirmed, but players hopefully won’t wait long for official reveals.

When Will the Warhammer 40K Event Launch?

Activision has not announced an official release date yet. However, new seasons and major events typically launch on Wednesdays or Thursdays.

Players speculate the event could drop on March 8th or 9th to coincide with the rumored start of Modern Warfare 3 Season 2. 

This launch would fall shortly after the current Walking Dead tie-in event which runs until March 6th. 

If leaks ring true, players are in for a grim, brutal good time when they finally get to take control of Power Armored Space Marines and unleash bolter fire and chainsword slashes on their foes.
