Activision’sCall of Dutyfranchise is at peak popularity, asCall of Duty: Modern Warfare, the battle royaleCall of Duty: Warzone, and a remake of theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2story campaign have offered plenty of options to keep fans busy while much of the world is stuck at home. The company has also announced a number of things coming to its titles throughout the week, including aCabin Fever playlist inModern Warfare, but the addition of a new playable operator is undoubtedly one of the biggest.
Ronin, an ex-Special Forces soldier and “master of multiple fighting systems” who fights for the Coalition, is available now through a bundle in theCall of DutyStore that costs 2,400 COD Points. The character described as a “one-man army” can be used in bothModern WarfareandWarzone, and his bundle includes cosmetics and two legendary weapons: The “Peace and Tranquility” pistol and the “Soulful Wanderer.”

As one of the two new Operators announced forModern WarfareSeason Three on April 7, alongside an Allegiance fighter named Iskra, Ronin is said to be “proficient in unconventional warfare.” He apparently has “ruthless” Finishing Moves for players to utilize.
Alongside Ronin’s bundle, Activision has added two weapon bundles called “Fool’s Gold II” and “Toxic Ooze” that include legendary weapon blueprints forModern WarfareandWarzone. Today’s Activision Games Blog post also outlines updates coming toCall of Duty: Mobile, which recently began itsSteel Legion season of content,Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, and theCall of DutyLeague.
New Operators in the recentCall of Dutygames have offered players the chance to take on their opponents with a more customizable flair, and the additions have been popular enough that they keep on coming. In February,Modern Warfarereleased aplayable Operator named Macewho brought along a light machine gun, a shotgun, and a special knife.
Ronin is the first character being introduced since the launch of theWarzone, so it’s good to see that Activision will allow players to use him in both games. That said the new battle royale game has a number ofglitches, including one that makes players invincible, so the developers will have to make sure their game stays patched if they want to have the opportunity to add more characters going forward.
