The upcoming "Call of Duty" Season 5 update, scheduled for release on Aug. 2, will feature iconic hip-hop artists Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg as playable characters.
The official Call of Duty Twitter account recently unveiled images of the two musicians, showcasing Minaj with a bright pink gun and Snoop Dogg wielding a blue and gold rifle.
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.
In addition to the new skins, players can look forward to enjoying "free War Tracks" that encompass three decades of a culture that "transcends music and gaming," the game's website reads.
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.
