Activision Blizzard released Call of Duty: Vanguard last year, and since then the game has received updates that include new maps, guns, and skins on top of adjustments made to existing content. One addition coming to both Call of Duty: Vanguard and Call of Duty: Warzone in the near future is Snoop Dogg.
The Call of Duty Twitter account shared a clip today teasing the release of Snoop Dog to Call of Duty: Vanguard and the free-to-play battle royale, Call of Duty: Warzone. The clip begins by showing a pair of dog tags falling into view engulfed in smoke and many small sparks accompanied by a light cough and familiar voice saying "damn!" After bouncing a few times, the dog tags show a number underneath the words Vanguard and Warzone that infers the Snoop Dogg content will be added to both games on April 19.
Music enthusiasts will recognize Snoop Dogg from his rapping career, but lately, the star is streaming games like Madden NFL 22 to a Twitch audience that extends beyond his hip hop fans in his free time. Joining the Call of Duty: Vanguard and Warzone roster isn't the first time that Snoop Dogg has gotten involved with the Call of Duty franchise, as he has provided his voice for Call of Duty: Ghosts add-on content in the past. Call of Duty fans that purchase this voice pack DLC will have their multiplayer games narrated by the popular rapper just as Ice Cube's voice graced the Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer.
Snoop Dogg recently joined the FaZe Clan board of directors and has taken on the moniker of FaZe Snoop, confirmed by a well-produced video as he lends his entertainment industry insight to the organization. On top of several NFT projects and purchasing the Death Row record label, Snoop Dogg also performed during this year's Super Bowl Half-Time show. Like some of Snoop Dogg's other moves lately, his addition to Call of Duty: Vanguard and Call of Duty: Warzone may expose a new audience of fans to the rapper, and it's likely that he will provide some voice lines on top of his likeness for the new operator skin.
Although a Call of Duty: Vanguard Snoop Dogg Operator skin has already been leaked in the past, the new cosmetic may come with additional goodies when it releases in a few days. Just like some previous Call of Duty titles, players who purchase the new Snoop Dogg cosmetics in Call of Duty: Vanguard will be able to use them in Call of Duty: Warzone as well. While Activision Blizzard has confirmed the existence and release date for the Snoop Dogg microtransaction, it's currently unclear how much it will cost Call of Duty players.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
