A recent trend in gaming has been industry collaborations, which are great for marketing and bringing in a newer audience. The greatest example of a product following this trend is Fortnite. Fortnite has amassed a great player base thanks to its consistent collaborations and events.
Call of Duty has recently started doing the same, with one of their biggest collaboration being the Godzilla vs. King Kong event earlier this year. And according to a new leak, it seems that the franchise is looking to double down on its efforts to do different collaborations.
A new leak suggests that we could be getting football players as Operators in the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II. The leak comes from a reliable insider TheGhostOfHope on Twitter, who previously had multiple leaks proven to be correct.
The new files added to the game indicate that some of the greatest football players, like Messi, Neymar, and Pogba, are making their way to Modern Warfare II as Operators. The list of Operators leaked by Hope also includes the most criticized Operator, Roze.
It seems she is also making a return. It would be interesting to see how well the new skin will do in terms of visibility. The full list of new Operators includes the following: Aksel Conno. Klaus Luna Messi Neymar Pogba Roze Reyes Gromsco The addition of football players could also be related to the upcoming FIFA World Cup. However, it is not confirmed whether the appearance of these names in the files indicates their addition as Operators or is just event-related. But, judging from the tweet by Hope, the names are mentioned in the same context as the infamous Roze Operator.
