Gamers who’ve been hoping to add a bit of sci-fi flair to their multiplayer matches in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may soon get their wish, as a new leak suggests that Dune may cross over with the popular shooter. The leak comes just days after it was confirmed that Todd McFarlane’s demonic antihero Spawn is coming to Modern Warfare 2 as an unlockable operator skin as part of the game’s recently launched Season 6.
Released on PC and consoles in October 2022, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is the second game in Infinity Ward’s rebooted shooter series. With a campaign that continues the story that began in 2019’s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and featuring cameos from franchise mainstays like Captain John Price, the sequel was generally well-received by critics and gamers. But, as has been the case for most entries in the franchise in recent years, its multiplayer modes are the main draw for many players. Gamers have the ability to customize their character and loadouts for online matches, with new Modern Warfare 2 operators and skins being added to the game on a regular basis.
Continuing a trend of pop-culture crossovers that have seen the appearance of characters ranging from Tomb Raider’s Lara Croft to Diablo 4’s Lilith appearing in Modern Warfare 2, a new leak hints that a popular sci-fi franchise may be making its way to the game. As initially reported by Dexerto, a post on Twitter from CharlieIntel suggests that Modern Warfare 2 may be receiving a crossover with Dune. According to the tweet, dataminers uncovered evidence of a collaboration between the two properties as part of a Dune Part Two: Sardaukar Pack.
The appearance of a Dune loading screen background as part of the Modern Warfare 2 Season 6 update had hinted that a crossover between the two franchises was imminent and this leak, if accurate, appears to confirm that. No details about what may be included in the rumored Dune Part Two: Sardaukar Pack were provided, but according to Dextero the add-on is expected to cost 2,400 CoD points, or $19.99 USD. Given the many militaristic factions found in the Dune universe, a crossover with Modern Warfare 2 would fit well with both franchises.
At this point, it’s still unclear when or if this new content pack will be coming to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, but it should make for an interesting mashup if the rumors prove to be true. Playing a few multiplayer rounds as one of the brutal Sardaukar could also be the perfect way to pass the time while waiting for the release of Dune 3.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
