CoD Warzone & Vanguard are getting crazy events like Fortnite with Season 3
CoD Warzone & Vanguard have officially announced their Season 3. With the appearance of the new trailer, there were also some indications that a mega event could come to the island of Caldera. Is CoD based on Fortnite?
As already reported by MeinMMO, there have been concrete rumors and leaks about a mega event in CoD Warzone and Vanguard since February 2022. With the Season 3 trailer, the clues became even more specific:
Godzilla and probably King Kong could cause chaos in Season 3 of CoD Warzone & Vanguard. Such a crazy mega event with a prominent film crossover continues a new trend in CoD. Battle Royale fans are very reminiscent of Fortnite.
When does it start? The season starts on April 27th. You can watch the trailer here:
Kaijū Assault on Caldera? There are many official clues
What was discovered? In the latest trailer for Season 3 of CoD Warzone & Vanguard, attentive viewers can discover something special. A strange noise can be heard in the last 10 seconds, which sounds like a curious mixture of an alarm and whale song.
This sound might be familiar to movie and kaijū fans. It is the ORCA signal from the Godzilla universe. With this signal, people in the universe can communicate with and even control titans like Godzilla.
Most movie fans are probably familiar with this sound from Godzilla: King of the Monsters or the 2021 Hollywood blockbuster Godzilla vs Kong. Here you can listen to this sound in a continuous loop if necessary:
Are there more clues? But that orca signal isn’t the only clue that came with the Season 3 announcement.
On Twitter, the official Call of Duty account shared a strange audio clip stating that “further spectral analysis is needed to decipher the signal.”
As some users then found out, you can discover a lettering if you run this sound through a spectrogram. Simply uploading the sound into audio programs like Audacity shows that the sound hides a message: “Monsters are real”.
Since we are talking about several “monsters” here and not just a single monster, it is reasonable to assume that this also confirms the speculation about King Kong in addition to Godzilla.
With Godzilla & King Kong, Call of Duty could do mega events like Fortnite
How do the monsters work in the game? How exactly the two monsters could appear in Warzone and Vanguard is not yet known. The community speculates that they could appear in a mega event, as you are used to from Fortnite. The precise gameplay implications could be varied:
The leaks in February showed pictures of King Kong slapping about WW2 planes out of the air. Influencers like Modern Warzone suspect Godzilla could cause a volcanic eruption at Peak (via Twitter). Other fans fear that Godzilla and King Kong could be as annoying as the Christmas monster Krampus, which spoiled the fun for many CoD players over the holidays.
What do you think of these hints surrounding “CoDzilla”? Do you think it would be cool if Godzilla and King Kong made an appearance in Call of Duty? Or do you find such crossover events completely wrong? How would you incorporate something like that into the game? Let us know in the comments.
We have already discussed in a podcast why Fortnite in particular could be a great inspiration for this upcoming mega event:
