New awaited dog/wolf operator skin reportedly removed from Call of Duty

According to a recent tweet by an insider, Activision has decided to take down a hinted skin from their upcoming update. The dog/wolf operator skin was said to be an addition to the Terminator Bundle pack to be released in August. This change was noticed when the Call of Duty blog changed the initially released poster for the bundle to a new one. After this fans started commenting on the tweet in response to the new poster.

The reason for this abrupt change is not clear yet. But some tweets suggest that it has something to do with the artist who made the original skin. It is being speculated that the artist who designed the skin does not work for the company, and thus had issues while selling his IP to Activision. The deal that was meant to take place a few days back is rumored to not have ended well. Therefore Activision might have decided to remove it from the update.
