Godzilla and King Kong are stomping into Call of Duty

After months of leaks, rumors, and obvious teases, Call of Duty finally put out an official announcement and teaser that Godzilla and King Kong are bringing their fight to Call of Duty Warzone and Vanguard. The collaboration is happening on May 11, but details on what it will exactly entail are still mysterious.

The in-game event is called “Operation Monarch,” a reference to the scientific organization dedicated to kaiju research in Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse series of films. It seems the operations are going to be brought to the Call of Duty world along with the iconic movie duo. It’s yet another appearance for the busy monsters, who will star in an upcoming Godzilla series and Godzilla vs. Kong sequel.

While there is official confirmation that the kings are coming, we don’t know exactly what the monsters will bring to Vanguard and Warzone. From the last teaser of the crossover, it seems that the two may be making the world their stomping ground, and players will have to evade them and the destruction they bring during their battle against others. Perhaps Godzilla’s iconic atomic breath will make an appearance as an obstacle, making it imperative for players to make it to safe houses or bunkers as teased in a previous trailer. Or maybe it’ll just mean some monster-inspired cosmetics are coming to the game.

Speaking of unlikely crossovers, Call of Duty just collaborated with another cultural giant, Snoop Dogg, who can currently be played in both Vanguard and Warzone. Hopefully he’ll get to stand toe-to-toe with the King of the Monsters.

Players can witness the battle of the two kaiju juggernauts in Call of Duty on May 11.

It's time to grab your gear, reload your weapons, and get your squad ready for the final act in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This entry takes the multiplayer mode the series has built itself on to the next level, with the traditional multiplayer suite, zombies, and integration with Warzone 2.0. This is one of the biggest events of the year for many players, and you will probably be organizing your friends and family to all jump in and play together. But is that possible in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3? Cross-platform support isn't quite as ubiquitous as we hope yet, so let's breach this topic and extract the intel.

It's been almost a year since last year's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released, which means it's time for the next installment in the annual shooter franchise. This time we're completing the trilogy (again) with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. This entry has already generated a lot of hype among fans of the franchise for the inclusion, and return, of some highly requested features such as the mini-map and Zombies mode.

Sticking to the usual late-fall release schedule, Modern Warfare 3 will officially launch on November 10 of this year, but that doesn't mean you have to wait until then to get a taste of what's to come. If you play your cards right, you can get in on the beta to sharpen your skills before the competition.
