After being publicly accused of having plagiarized the work of an artist, Activision would have made its mea culpa, before permanently removing all traces of the skin concerned on Warzone and Vanguard.
With each significant Warzone update, weapons, modes, operators and even maps land on the battle royale. However, one of the most popular new features with each new season is by far the new skins it offers, enough to allow players to shine with panache on the battlefield.
So far, the wide variety of skins available in the battle royale has drawn praise from players, seduced by the possibility of being able to wander the battlefield as well as Rambo or John McClane as in the skin of a a Terminator or Godzilla.
While teasers have recently hinted at the arrival of an intriguing new skin, with a wolf’s head, overnight, all traces of its upcoming arrival have been removed.

It turns out that Activision would obviously have used content that did not belong to it to create this famous skin.
On Twitter, an artist claimed that Activision plagiarized his work. “Even though I am a CoD player, I am very disappointed to see my work plagiarized in this way by a big company like Activision”he said.
Now, according to Charlie Intel, Activision have admitted they made a mistake before apologizing for the misstep.
Charlie Intel shared a screenshot that reads: “We have a lot of respect for creativity and content creation. We love the Samoye Medical, unfortunately an error was made in the process and we have removed this skin from the game. We apologize for the misstep.”
