Will this collaboration affect *Call of Duty*’s future celebrity partnerships?

Some outlets, like *Eurogamer*, frame this as a potential ‘last hurrah’ for goofy celebrity collaborations, but no official statements confirm a shift in the franchise’s approach to such integrations.

Yes. Coverage from *Windows Central* and *Blizzard News* mentions new maps, modes, and mid-season content drops, though specifics beyond *Kowakujo* and Cage’s operator are not detailed.
