Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Set to Join Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone in Latest Pop Culture Crossover

Activision’s Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is ready for its latest pop culture crossover, following the recent Squid Game-themed update, with the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles making their way into the game. After the success of previous collaborations, the addition of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael was all but confirmed.

The turtles' entry into Black Ops 6 and Warzone comes as no surprise to fans, especially after dataminers leaked details earlier. This time, the iconic heroes in a half-shell follow the path of Shredder, who made his debut in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone in 2023. The arrival of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles adds another exciting twist to the game’s ever-expanding roster of cultural collaborations.

Activision dropped the news through an exciting teaser trailer, which shows the four turtles emerging from a manhole on a palm tree-lined street in what seems like a post-apocalyptic setting. While specifics remain scarce, it is confirmed the turtles will be part of Black Ops 6's upcoming Season 2 Reloaded update. Fans can expect their arrival soon, though the exact release date for this mid-season refresh is yet to be revealed.

The Season 2 Reloaded update will include the return of a remastered version of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’s fan-favorite Grind map, along with other new additions. Promotional artwork has teased the possibility of exciting new weapons and gear, including dual-wielded katanas, nunchucks, skateboards, and more. These additions will be a perfect match for the unique playstyle of the ninja turtles, who are known for their unorthodox combat methods.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are experiencing a resurgence, with the success of the 2023 Mutant Mayhem movie, which has a sequel slated for 2026. On the gaming side, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutants Unleashed launched last year, though it received mixed reviews. Additionally, fans are eagerly awaiting the upcoming The Last Ronin, inspired by God of War.

Stay tuned for further updates on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone, and get ready for an action-packed new chapter in the game’s pop culture integration!
