With today’s release of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone’s Season 3 Reloaded, some dataminers have found new files in the game that may reference several crossovers. Most notably is the potential of a Call of Duty x Fallout crossover, which would be very timely considering the show’s recent success.
This was first noticed by CODWarfareForum on Twitter, who posted about it this morning:
Season 4 bring the following #MWIII #Season4
GUNDAM CROSS OVER
FALLOUT CROSS OVER
THE CROW CROSS OVER@charlieINTEL @ModernWarzone pic.twitter.com/uGZNnpeDfb— COD Warfare All the news (@CODWarfareForum) May 1, 2024
The post notes crossover files for Gundam and The Crow, which are exciting. However, the most intriguing part is the reference to Fallout within the files. These files are prepped for Season 4, which is set to arrive in a few weeks, meaning that we could see them very soon.
In terms of potential content for a Fallout crossover, we imagine vault suits or Brotherhood of Steel armor would pair pretty nicely with other cosmetics from the game. Alternatively, we could see characters like The Ghoul from the Prime TV adaptation make an appearance. There’ll likely also be weapon blueprints to mimic some of the game’s more popular firearms or melee weapons, such as the iconic 10mm pistol.
As always, take this news with a grain of salt. Until we see the official announcement, it’s possible that these could be placeholder files or that the Fallout file specifically could be referring to a more general concept. Only time will tell what actually makes it to the game.
Of course, if this is legit, we wouldn’t be surprised. Given that Microsoft now owns both franchises (among countless others) with the acquisitions of Bethesda and Activision-Blizzard, we would be shocked if they didn’t capitalize on more crossovers in the future. Can you imagine how much cosmetics and other in-game items Microsoft can sell? Yeah, the sky’s the limit (not saying it’s a good thing).
Xbox also recently teased a Call of Duty presentation set to follow their June Xbox Games Showcase. You can read about that at this link.
