Seth Rogen Could Appear In Call of Duty BO6
The Call of Duty world continues to be a hub for major collaborations. The next crossover on the list could be with actor and comedian Seth Rogen joining Black Ops 6 and Warzone since a recent promo video allegedly featured Rogen’s distinctive laugh.
The April 28 teaser video was released on Call of Duty’s official social media channels. It features Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith in their iconic roles as Jay and Silent Bob. While the two were celebrating their new skins in the game, a mysterious third player named “CanadianSmokeMonster” entered their lobby. The notification is quickly followed by Rogen’s signature chuckle.
The promo ends after the laugh, but it was enough to convince fans that a Seth Rogan collaboration was in the works for Call of Duty. At the time of writing, CoD: Black Ops 6 is in its third season, which has a stoner theme. Rogen would also fit well into this setup as he starred in movies like Pineapple Express, where played Dale Denton.
Activision has yet to confirm Rogen’s involvement directly, but these types of promos often play out as expected in the CoD universe. Regardless of whether Rogen appears in CoD as himself or Dale Denton, the partnership showcases how CoD has been prioritizing pop culture-heavy content.
Rogen is also an active name in the gaming culture as the actor recently voiced Donkey Kong in The Super Mario Bros. Movie. Collaborations of this caliber often help games draw more attention, but some CoD fans have expressed their frustration with the increasing number of meme-centric skins and content releases.
The Call of Duty series used to be more “more serious” and would only bring on partnerships that fit the game's overall theme, but that slowly changed over the last five years. Not only did more brands want to tap into the gaming market via CoD collaborations, but most fans were also onboard with new cosmetics and unique content updates. It’s one of those scenarios where it’s rather difficult to satisfy all parties, so the developers may continue with what works best as long as possible.
