Activision is being accused of plagiarizing a skin for Call of Duty: Warzone and Vanguard from a game called Deadrop, which is being developed by a former Infinity Ward employee.
A new skin for Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Vanguard is getting suspiciously side-eyed for its similarity to a different game’s character skin, just weeks after publisher Activision was accused of copying an artist’s work for Call of Duty cosmetics. One of the people who appears to take issue with Call of Duty’s new Doomsayer operator skin is a former Activision employee who used to work on the first-person shooter franchise.
On Monday, the official Call of Duty Twitter account promoted the Malware Ultra Skin Bundle, showing off the Doomsayer skin for an operator named Shigenori Ota. Doomsayer wears a hood and black body armor, whose most distinctive feature is a glowing, hologram-like skull projecting through its helmet.
