The Call of Duty saga has witnessed numerous transitions so far, ever since the action franchise was originally introduced nearly two decades ago in 2003. With changing times, the action series has adapted itself to new trends as well. Such as making collaborations with other entertainment entities. Now, one can even spot fictional characters from movies like Terminator, Rambo, or even the Godzilla universe. There’s a lot happening in the gaming space and Activision knows how to keep going with the flow.

Simply put, Call of Duty has caught up with the growing trend of doing crossovers. In fact, it increased them even more last year with Modern Warfare II. The latter is Activision’s latest premium offering. Last November, fans were surprised to witness an extravagant soccer-themed event. It featured Operators inspired by stars like Lionel Messi, Paul Pogba, and Neymar Jr!

Taking such initiatives into consideration, the action franchise can also cross paths with characters from other gaming IPs. To begin with, Nina from the next Tekken 8 won’t be a bad addition, right? After all, she fits the criteria of a perfect, highly skilled, top-level deadly operator.

A future Operator bundle with Nina Williams from Tekken 8 will be mind-boggling for Call of Duty players

Being a lethal assassin makes Nina Williams, perhaps, the perfect candidate to be a part of a massive crossover event between Tekken 8 and the current CoD entry Modern Warfare II (depending on its life cycle) or any title coming next.

Just a few days ago, the developers of the upcoming Tekken game revealed the playable character of Nina. And going by her inevitably amazing presence in the trailer, she looks more like a seasoned Call of Duty operator instead of a ‘silent assassin’ from the Tekken saga.

Nina is cold and known for her ruthless personality, along with being highly efficient in her work. She’s been the subject of various experiments (in the timeline of Tekken series). All of the experiments have made her be a very complicated individual, to say the least.

She can be very torturous to her opponents. Her iconic moves include stepping on the foot of the enemies after taking them down. Basically, she enjoys dominating them with her unapologetic personality. Not to mention that she possesses unmatched fighting and shooting skills.

If introduced as a Call of Duty operator for a collaboration between Tekken 8 and Activision’s series, she could end up amassing huge popularity. Especially among those fans, who are fond of playing with stylized operators. On top of that, her recently revealed new outfit will be the icing on the cake if it is also unveiled in the crossover event.

Since both these franchises feature gory action sequences, it shouldn’t be a problem to make this dream collaboration happen. The new Tekken 8 is releasing later in 2023. Which means there’s a lot of time to prepare for something special. Only if the people at Bandai Namco Studios and Activision decide to join hands.
