You know, whenMicrosoftfinalised their purchase ofActivisionback in 2023, I sort of assumed we’d be seeing silly crossovers left, right and centre. I just wanna see Master Chief ride Spyro into battle, is that too much to ask?
Seems like an easy lay-up to me. Put all your popular characters in a bunch of each other’s games and get that cross-marketing synergy going ASAP.
But alas, nothing has really come of it so far… and if a recent leak is to be believed, nothing will come of it for a little while longer.

Unfortunately, it seems the team-up was scrapped at the last minute, if a post from well-knownCall of Duty leaker TheGhostOfHopeis to be believed.
Black Ops 6is almost upon us.
Although the image in TheGhostOfHope’s post is fake, the leaker specified that the collaboration itself isn’t.

“Only used his image for my post…” they statedin reply to another commenter, “There was an actual bundle collab for one of the seasons that got scrapped.”
Of course, there is still a good chance we still might see Master Chief pop up in a Call of Dutygame pretty soon.
Call of Duty: Black Ops 6is mere days away at this point. Perhaps, and I’m just theorising here but, the Halo collaboration inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare IIIwas scrapped so that it could be used as one of the selling points forBlack Ops 6.
ConsideringModern Warfare IIIwas well into development prior to the Microsoft/Activision deal being finalised, the collaboration may have originally been a multi-system affair - much like how you can use a Master Chief skin inFortniteeven if you play the game on a PlayStation 5.

Now that Microsoft does officially own Activision, I wouldn’t be surprised if any Halo-related skins or content end up being exclusive to the Xbox versions ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 6.
We’ll have to wait and see how it all pans out once the game officially releases on October 25 next week.
