What you need to know
- Call of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHope has posted on social media that a Halo crossover for 2023's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 was cancelled "for completely unknown reasons."
- The report was corroborated by the Call of Duty news site CharlieIntel in another post, in which it revealed it heard the collaboration was planned to come out in 2024 before it was scrapped.
- Allegedly, the collab would have been an Operator skin of Master Chief — Halo's main protagonist — similar to the skins of the Spartan that are available in games like Fortnite and Rainbow Six Siege.
- It's unclear why the crossover was cancelled, though a plausible theory is that Microsoft chose to save it for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 instead. It's slated to release later this month on October 25, 2024.
- Notably, Microsoft now owns both Halo and Call of Duty following the completion of its $69 billion Activision Blizzard acquisition last year.
