Godzilla and King Kong are stomping into Call of Duty

Add as a preferred source on Google

After months of leaks, rumors, and obvious teases, Call of Duty finally put out an official announcement and teaser that Godzilla and King Kong are bringing their fight to Call of Duty Warzone and Vanguard. The collaboration is happening on May 11, but details on what it will exactly entail are still mysterious.

The in-game event is called “Operation Monarch,” a reference to the scientific organization dedicated to kaiju research in Legendary Pictures’ Monsterverse series of films. It seems the operations are going to be brought to the Call of Duty world along with the iconic movie duo. It’s yet another appearance for the busy monsters, who will star in an upcoming Godzilla series and Godzilla vs. Kong sequel.

 

While there is official confirmation that the kings are coming, we don’t know exactly what the monsters will bring to Vanguard and Warzone. From the last teaser of the crossover, it seems that the two may be making the world their stomping ground, and players will have to evade them and the destruction they bring during their battle against others. Perhaps Godzilla’s iconic atomic breath will make an appearance as an obstacle, making it imperative for players to make it to safe houses or bunkers as teased in a previous trailer. Or maybe it’ll just mean some monster-inspired cosmetics are coming to the game.

Speaking of unlikely crossovers, Call of Duty just collaborated with another cultural giant, Snoop Dogg, who can currently be played in both Vanguard and Warzone. Hopefully he’ll get to stand toe-to-toe with the King of the Monsters.

Players can witness the battle of the two kaiju juggernauts in Call of Duty on May 11.

I tested DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27, and it’s seriously impressive
The visuals get a serious upgrade, but there might be a hefty price for those prettier pixels.
NBA 2K27 with DLSS 5 Tested Review Screenshot 1

I’ve spent some time testing DLSS 5 in NBA 2K27, including an early preview at Gamescom, and there’s one thing I can say with confidence: this is not your usual “turn on DLSS and watch the FPS counter go brrr” situation. NVIDIA’s latest trick is less about making games run faster and more about making them look ridiculously good. And NBA 2K27 is a surprisingly perfect guinea pig.

Sony just handed Kojima’s PHYSINT to Xbox, and PlayStation fans aren’t going to like it
Another exclusive walks out the door, and Sony has only itself to blame.
The Playstation 5 system standing upright.

Sony has just made a decision that feels straight out of a "how to lose fans" playbook. In a statement posted on X, PlayStation Studios confirmed it is stepping away from Hideo Kojima's PHYSINT after what it called three decades of "industry-leading, genre-defining" collaboration. Barely minutes later, Xbox confirmed it would publish the game instead, expanding its existing partnership with Kojima Productions.
