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.

21 Savage and Nicki Minaj come to Call of Duty

Call of Duty brought the operator system in place a while ago. With this system, they found the chance to include famous individuals in their game for players to use and play with. As a result, it became common to see new names added to the list. After bringing football stars such as Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba, and Neymar Jr. as playable skins, it is time for two rappers to join the ranks.

New leaks suggest 21 Savage and Nicki Minaj will be coming to the game soon. While not confirmed by Activision, data miners found evidence of a future update slated to bring the two into the game. If this news is true, it will be Nicki Minaj’s first time working with Call of Duty.

Initially, fans assumed the collaboration between the rappers and Call of Duty was for a track. This track would be released as part of the game later on. However, data miner Alaix, one of the first people to break the news, opposed it. He seems confident the two will come as operators.
