A Modern Warfare 3 leak claims a crossover with The Walking Dead TV series is on its way.
The Modern Warfare 3 cycle is in full swing and as the focus starts moving towards the launch of Season 1, leaks surrounding upcoming collaborations with the world of television are starting to appear.
Call of Duty is no stranger to joining forces with all kinds of franchises from the world of TV and movies. Recent years have seen crossovers involving Die Hard, Scream, Godzilla, and Amazon Prime's The Boys. With the return of zombies, partnering up with Rick Grimes could potentially deliver another memorable in-game spectacle.
According to notable Call of Duty leaker HeyImAlaix, the Modern Warfare 3 crossover with The Walking Dead ties in with the launch of AMC's spin-off called The Ones Who Live.
The Walking Dead: The Ones Who Live is set following the conclusion of the original series of The Walking Dead and is set to launch in February 2024. This means there's a chance the Modern Warfare 3 event will launch at a similar time as a method of promoting the show through Sledgehammer Games' latest release.
Typically, a crossover event brings a wealth of content for players to purchase and obtain by completing a range of objectives. Fans were quick to share which characters from The Walking Dead they'd want to see dropping into multiplayer matches. One fan suggests: "Rick and Michonne skins are gonna be dope."
As with all leaks, it's important to take them with a pinch of salt until Activision and AMC are ready to share more information about Modern Warfare 3 joining forces with The Walking Dead. Considering the game features an open-world zombie mode, it's a potentially excellent setting for Rick Grimes and Michonne to continue their fight against the undead.
With a few months until the latest The Walking Dead spin-off airs, we'll have to wait and see what the Modern Warfare 3 developers have in store.
