Dataminers hint at an upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) crossover event in Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.  The iconic heroes in a half-shell, popular since the 1980s, may be the next addition to the ever-expanding Black Ops 6 universe.

Call of Duty has continually evolved its multiplayer FPS experience, introducing innovative game modes, challenges, maps, characters, weapons, and cosmetic items. Operator Skins, Emblems, Weapon Blueprints, and Charms are just some of the customizable options available through Battle Passes and the in-game store. While some players have critiqued Black Ops 6's current cosmetic offerings, the potential arrival of the TMNT could change that perception.

Dataminers like Realityuk_ and HeyImAlaix have sparked rumors of the TMNT crossover, suggesting an exclusive event and dedicated game mode.  The rumored game mode is said to share similarities with another upcoming event featuring characters from The Boys and their unique powers, hinting at the possibility of playable TMNT characters with their signature abilities.

This wouldn't be the first time the TMNT franchise has crossed over into the Call of Duty world.  Shredder appeared as a playable character in Modern Warfare 2 (2022). However, the turtles themselves have never made an appearance.  Beyond Call of Duty, the TMNT have also featured in other popular games like Fortnite, Smite, and Street Fighter 6.

Previous crossover events, such as the Squid Game collaboration, saw all guard skins applied to a single Operator.  Black Ops 6 may choose a similar approach to potentially avoid controversy by applying the turtle skins to operators of both factions.

While the datamined information points towards a TMNT crossover in Black Ops 6, it's crucial to remember that this remains unconfirmed.  Players should treat this as speculation until official confirmation from Activision.  Given Activision's continued support and updates for Black Ops 6,  more crossovers and exciting content are likely on the horizon.
