These skins, whose cost is yet to be disclosed, are part of a larger celebration of Hip Hop, spanning 50 years of the influential cultural movement.

Moreover, for multiplayer enthusiasts, the update introduces fresh gaming landscapes such as Livestock, Petrov Oil Rig, and Harbor. Meanwhile, Warzone 2.0 enthusiasts can explore novel locations, such as the Verdansk Stadium and a roaming train, adding further depth to the popular battle royale experience.

This is not the first time Activision Blizzard Inc's ATVI mega-popular shooter game features skins from prominent figures and artists. Previously, the rapper 50 Cent was included in the game, as well as the Argentine soccer player and World Cup winner, Lionel Messi.
