Call of Duty reveals Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover

For now, the teaser shows off the helmet, claws, and boots of the operator before the perspective changes to a familiar full-body silhouette. There is also a shot of an ooze-filled canister with the initials TCRI written on it, which stands for the Techno Cosmic Research Institute, a legitimate front used by the villains in the cartoon series.

Fun fact: a TCRI canister caused the mutation of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, Rafael, and Master Splinter.

Based on the dual swords that Shredder is wielding in the trailer, this may be an operator skin for Ronin. It is also fitting that Activision chose to go with a ninja-themed skin since Season 2 introduced Ashika Island as the new playable map.

Interestingly, a new trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was recently released. We're not sure what the connection is but their announcement suggests that the new operator skin might be a promotional tie-in.

It's unclear if Activision is planning more Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossovers in Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.

We'll find out more once the new operator skin arrives on March 21.

UPDATE (March 9): Activision Blizzard has confirmed the Shredder Tracer Pack Operator bundle.
