Call of Duty adds the performers in the form of operator skins.

Snoop Dogg first joined the game as a cameraman last year in Call of Duty: Vanguard.

To celebrate the anniversary, players will also enjoy a skin of the world’s most famous female rapper – Nicki Minaj. This is Nicki’s second collaboration with Activision, having starred in a commercial for the Modern Warfare 2 game in 2022.

Nicki Minaj will be the “first-ever self-named female Operator,” in Call of Duty.

Now in Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone, she’s ready to make all rival Operators pound the alarm, as Nicki Minaj has her own Store Bundle, perfect for those who think they have good form across Battle Royale, DMZ, Multiplayer, and Special Ops”, the official announcement reads.

21 Savage will appear in the game, but a little later, in the middle of the season.

Microsoft Announces Its 10-year Call of Duty Contract with Nintendo https://devstyler.io/blog/2023/02/21/microsoft-announces-its-10-year-call-of-duty-contract-with-nintendo/ Tue, 21 Feb 2023 12:43:24 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=101830 ...]]> The game will be released at the same time for Switch with “full parity of features and content”.

Late last year, Microsoft announced it was “committed” to providing Call of Duty (CoD) to Nintendo for 10 years if its acquisition by Activision Blizzard was approved. Now president Brad Smith has announced on Twitter that the “binding” 10-year contract has been signed, and confirmed that Nintendo will get the same access to CoD as Xbox, Engadget wrote on the subject.

“Microsoft and Nintendo have now negotiated and signed a binding 10-year legal agreement to bring Call of Duty to Nintendo players – in the same days as Xbox, with full feature and content parity. We are committed to providing long-term parity of access to Call of Duty for other gaming platforms.”

, Microsoft said in a statement.

Microsoft previously said it had offered Sony a similar deal for PlayStation consoles and committed to offering the game on Steam at the same time as Xbox – provided the merger goes through, of course.

In addition, the European Union will reportedly join the United Kingdom in declaring that the proposed acquisition could reduce competition. To that end, Microsoft has reportedly requested a hearing with EU regulators to defend the deal – and that meeting is scheduled for today, according to Reuters.

The acquisition has from the outset faced regulators’ concerns that it would deprive the PS5 and other Sony consoles of key games, particularly CoD. Sony has strongly opposed the deal, calling it a “game changer that poses a threat to our industry”. Microsoft said Sony’s comments were “self-serving”, and promised to support Call of Duty for PlayStation “forever”.

Sony shares have slumped in Tokyo market https://devstyler.io/blog/2022/01/19/sony-shares-have-slumped-in-tokyo-market/ Wed, 19 Jan 2022 14:21:59 +0000 https://devstyler.io/?p=79293 ...]]> After Microsoft announced its plans to buy Activision Blizzard, Sony’s shares fell off in Tokyo trade.

The deal will be an important step for Microsoft’s Xbox gaming brand in its battle against Sony’s PlayStation. The purchase of the “Call of Duty” maker comes as Microsoft is fiercely trying to expand its Game Pass subscription service. Microsoft’s chief executive Satya Nadella, said:

“We’re investing deeply in world-class content, community and the cloud to usher in a new era of gaming that puts players and creators first and makes gaming safe, inclusive and accessible to all.”

However, Sony’s PlayStation 5 is being recognized as the leader over Microsoft’s Xbox models. In the past few years, Sony made its network stronger and offered some exclusive hits such as its Spider-man franchise.

Also, the Japanese company is one of the very first companies in virtual reality. Not only that but this month Sony even revealed some more details about its next generation headset.

Now, Sony meets really strong competition in the gaming industry.
