New Chaos Space Marines Battleforce Sets (First Look)
Bow down to the Dark Gods of the Warp! We dig our claws into two new Chaos Space Marine Battleforce box sets.
In late January, the internet was abuzz with rumors that Warhammer 40K was going to Call of Duty in an upcoming expansion pack, with code leaks showing artwork along with a collection of icons and skins.
Now it seems the rumors are true, with both Games Workshop and video game publisher confirming the release. Below, we break out all the details.
What is the Warhammer 40K Call of Duty Expansion?
The Warhammer 40K expansion will be part of the Season 2 Reloaded update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III for the PlayStation and Xbox and will include three new packs which are available for purchase online.
The first pack is is themed around Space Marines, and includes Scout armour Operator Skins from the Ultramarines and Blood Angels. In addition, gamers will able to access new melee weapons, including the chainsword.
The second pack is focused on the Sisters of Battle, complete with two Warhammer-themed Weapon Blueprints and several customizations based on the legendary Adepta Sororitas.
The third and final pack will include new skins based on the elite Imperial Guard unit known as the Kasrkin, and will include a melee weapon based on a power blade, plus tracers that make your weapons look like they’re firing Warhammer 40K las bolts.
In addition, a new “Juggermosh” game mode is coming to the game, which will also include additional Warhammer 40K elements.
Final Thoughts
It’s not at all surprising that Warhammer 40K is crossing over into other mediums. The fact is game has been experiencing a renaissance as of late, with record sales thanks to a new 10th edition, the success with the recent Rogue Trader video game, and plans for an upcoming Amazon series with Henry Cavill. There’s also growing buzz over the upcoming Space Marine 2 video game.
Notably Call of Duty is a series which has collaborated with some pretty off-the-wall brands, including rapper Nicki Minaj and more recently The Boys TV series. Additionally, CoD previously crossed over with Diablo III, a game which has its own fair share of grim dark overtones.
We’ll be keeping a close eye on this story in the days ahead and update as more information is made available.
