Is Call of Duty Imitating Fortnite With the Upcoming Skins Featuring Renowned Streamers?

Since 2017, Fortnite has remained the best gaming title to come up with fascinating events. Its makers have got an amazing approach of collaborating with renowned entities. As a result, many fan favorite characters, from pop culture and real life, have made their way into the battle royale over the last few years, including streamers. Names like SypherPK, Loserfruit, LazarBeam, and Ninja have got their own playable avatars in Epic Games’ free-to-play blockbuster. But now, the makers of Call of Duty have also decided to use this formula in their ongoing entry Modern Warfare II.

In case anyone missed keeping track of events, Activision had recently unveiled surprising bundles featuring two fan-favorite streamers. Both of them will soon arrive in Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2, with their own playable Operators. Well these two personalities are none other than TimTheTatman and Nickmercs.

Will Call of Duty continue bringing more bundles themed on gaming streamers similar to Fortnite?

TimTheTatman had recently announced his collaboration with Modern Warfare II. His fans will be able to acquire a playable Operator, directly based on their favorite content creator, later this month. Same is the case with Nickmercs as well who will receive a dedicated bundle with an amazing Spartan skin inspired by the streamer.

For any Call of Duty lover, it’s the first time witnessing such a crossover involving streamers themselves. So far, the action franchise has introduced multiple events but this is something unique.

Maybe it’s the beginning of an expanded streak featuring even more such collaborations, just like Fortnite. Or maybe the people at Activision are trying this new approach to keep the players hooked to their games in future as well. Streamers are quite popular these days and many gaming enthusiasts are fond of watching them. Hence, rolling out events including characters based on the top content creators might end up being a profitable idea eventually.

Only time will tell whether this move is a masterstroke or not. The latest Call of Duty installment in Modern Warfare II is now available across the globe. What are your thoughts on the title having streamers as playable Operators? Let us know in the comments down below.
