Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Black Ops 6 Crossover6 min read

The latest Black Ops 6 Crossover is bringing an unexpected but exciting addition, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Data miners have uncovered strong evidence that suggests the arrival of TMNT characters, weapons, and even a special game mode in the upcoming Season 2 Reloaded update. While Activision hasn’t officially confirmed the details, leaks have painted a clear picture of what’s coming.

Leaked TMNT Weapons and Operators in Black Ops 6 Crossover

Data miners have found references to five melee weapons that match the signature loadouts of the TMNT heroes. The weapons include:

• Katana – Leonardo’s weapon of choice.
• Nunchakus – Michelangelo’s classic tool.
• Sais – Raphael’s lethal daggers.
• Bo Staff – Donatello’s signature weapon.
• Skateboard – A surprise addition that might serve as a melee weapon or an in-game item.

These weapons hint at full-fledged TMNT operators coming to Black Ops 6 Crossover. Players might get to play as Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael, each equipped with their distinct weapons and animations. The inclusion of a skateboard raises speculation, could this mean added movement mechanics or an interactive element on certain maps?

A Special TMNT Game Mode?

Another major leak points to a new game mode inspired by TMNT, similar to the Squid Game crossover event. According to sources, this mode will feature unique TMNT-inspired abilities, much like the special powers granted in the upcoming collaboration with The Boys. While details are still scarce, the leaks suggest that the event will provide more than just cosmetic skins, it could introduce new mechanics and challenges that set it apart from previous Black Ops 6 Crossover events.

Some speculate that this mode could involve:

• Mutant abilities based on each turtle’s fighting style.
• A TMNT-themed map, possibly including elements from the turtles’ underground lair.
• Exclusive event-based rewards, including weapon blueprints, emblems, and calling cards.

Will Shredder and Other TMNT Characters Join the Fight?

This wouldn’t be TMNT’s first appearance in Call of Duty. Modern Warfare 2 (2022) featured Shredder as a playable operator. With the turtles entering Black Ops 6 Crossover, it’s likely that other familiar faces, such as Master Splinter, April O’Neil, and Casey Jones, could also be added.

There’s also speculation that Shredder might make a return, possibly as a premium bundle. Given his popularity in previous Call of Duty content, Activision could easily bring him back as part of a limited-time store pack.

What About the TMNT Event Pass?

Leaks indicate that Black Ops 6 Crossover will introduce a TMNT-themed event pass, similar to the Squid Game event. These event passes usually offer both free and premium reward tracks, with premium tiers unlocking additional skins, weapon blueprints, and exclusive content.

If the leaks hold true, the TMNT event pass might cost 1,100 COD Points, similar to previous premium event passes. Players who don’t want to spend COD Points can still grind through the free track for limited rewards. Given the hype around TMNT, it’s possible that this event pass will be one of the biggest yet in Black Ops 6.

The upcoming TMNT event promises epic skins and nostalgic content, but those premium rewards won’t unlock themselves. For that, you can buy COD Points and breeze through the event pass effortlessly. You can maximize COD Points, unlock exclusive skins, and crush event challenges without wasting precious game time.

Past event passes included:

• Operator skins (at least one free and one premium).
• Exclusive melee and ranged weapons.
• Weapon blueprints, charms, stickers, and calling cards.

How Will TMNT Be Sold in the Store?

Call of Duty has been criticized for its microtransactions, and TMNT might be another example of how Activision capitalizes on nostalgia. There are concerns that each turtle could be sold separately in individual 2,400–2,800 COD Point bundles, which would be frustrating for players who want all four heroes. The store update will likely go live alongside the event, with time-limited exclusives pushing players to grab the content before it disappears.

Alternatively, a single bundle featuring all turtles could be released, providing a more cost-effective way to get the full set. 

If Activision follows past models, additional store packs could include:

• Shredder or Master Splinter as separate operators.
• Unique weapon tracers and finishing moves.
• Turtle-themed cosmetics like weapon charms, stickers, and calling cards.

When Is the Black Ops 6 TMNT Crossover Release Date?

Leaks suggest that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles crossover will launch with Season 2 Reloaded. Based on past content schedules, this means it could arrive sometime in March 2025.

Activision has yet to officially confirm the event, but given the strong data mining leaks, an announcement could come soon. If the Squid Game crossover was any indication, expect a full trailer showcasing TMNT skins, weapons, and gameplay changes leading up to launch.

Is This the Most Exciting Black Ops 6 Crossover Yet?

Call of Duty has seen its fair share of wild collaborations, from The Boys to Godzilla vs. Kong. However, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles bring a level of nostalgia that many players will love. The potential for melee combat, unique operator abilities, and a TMNT-themed game mode makes this one of the most exciting Black Ops 6 Crossover events yet.

Still, there are concerns about pricing, microtransactions, and how the event will be structured. Will players need to spend money to get the best rewards? Will the store be flooded with expensive bundles? Only time will tell.

For now, players should stay tuned for official announcements from Activision. If TMNT is coming to Black Ops 6, it’s going to be one of the biggest gaming crossovers of 2025.
