Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj and 21 Savage will feature in the new edition of Call of Duty.
Season 5 of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is due out August 2, GameSpot reports, and the shooter-like video game will feature the three rappers as plot characters to celebrate 50 years of hip-hop music.
Photos posted to the video game’s official Twitter/X account show the character Nicki – the first female rapper to receive her own avatar in a major video game – sporting pink hair and blue eyeshadow, as well as carrying a pink gun . Snoop Dogg’s character, meanwhile, is holding a blue and gold pistol, and is dressed in a gold and white jumpsuit with marijuana leaf designs.

Video game publisher Activision also announced that players will receive free hip-hop “War Tracks” when logging into Modern Warfare 2 or Warzone between August 7 and August 16.
This is not the first time that rappers have entered the world of gaming. 50 Cent has released his own video game, titled 50 Cent: Bulletproof, in which the player takes on the role of the Candy Shop rapper seeking revenge against those who attempted to assassinate him. A series of Def Jam video games were also released in the 2000s, in which players could battle rappers such as DMX and Ludacris.
