Activision-Blizzard rarely crossover outside of their own games. While many Overwatch skins are inspired by WoW, Diablo and StarCraft, none reference Activision\u2019s flagship shooter Call of Duty. By the same token, while CoD has crossed over with many movie properties such as Rambo and even Donnie Darko, they haven\u2019t done anything related to Overwatch. That is, until now.
