Follow Us
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?
