AsCall of Duty: Warzonecontinues its regression into the ’80s, a slew of famous movie characters have been teased by both official and unofficial sources. In the latest example, a notoriousCall of Duty: Warzoneleaker hinted at perhaps the most famous action icon of the ’80s joining the game.
Tom Henderson, known for his reliable informationsurrounding theBattlefieldandCall of Dutyfranchises, took to Twitter and with one simple post revealed his prediction for the newest character to joinCall of Duty: Warzone. The post in question was a link to the Main Theme ofThe Terminatorsoundtrack, suggesting that the T-800 could be headed toWarzoneas a playable character.

As one ofSchwarzenegger’s best ’80s films,Terminatorseems like a no-brainer to throw into the mix. The tease by Henderson also comes on the heels of more-or-less official confirmation byCall of Duty’s official Twitter about the inclusion of ’80s action heroes John Rambo fromFirst Bloodand John McClane fromDie Hard. If these three are confirmed forWarzone, the ’80s theme would be off to an incredible start, as these characters essentially comprise the podium of the most famous action heroes of the 1980s.
While theTerminatorfranchise has always maintained its popularity with fans, there has been a recent uptick inTerminator-related developments that make the leak seem even more probable. The year started off with rumors of aTerminatoranime being developed for Netflix, which was subsequently followed by the release ofTerminator Resistance: Enhanced, a PS5 port of the 2019 FPS. With the ’80s classic constantly reaffirming its longevity, it’s not a stretch to think thatActivisionwould put in a great deal of effort to secure the franchise forWarzone.
While there are a host of other movies to choose from, it seems unlikely that fans would get multiple skins of characters that are played by the same actor. So while Schwarzenegger may have played a whole arsenal of classic characters during the ’80s, it seems improbable that fans will get skins likeConan the Barbarian, John Matrix fromCommando, or Dutch fromPredator, at least during the initial release. It’s more likely the case that if more skins are to be teased they will come from other classic movies likeRobocop,Mad Max, or even theIndiana Jonesseries—all massive hits during the decade in their own right.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
