With Microsoft’s acquisition of Activision-Blizzard finally getting past the FTC, Call of Duty came back into the eye of the public. However, it is not because of the buyout. Rather, what has got fans excited about Call of Duty is a new update coming for its battle royale: Warzone. In the near future, two Hollywood celebrities look set to be added to the roster of operatives featured in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.
Rappers 21 Savage and Nicki Minaj are reportedly among the new characters set for release. They will be operators in Warzone 2, as well as in Modern Warfare II.
