These skins, whose cost is yet to be disclosed, are part of a larger celebration of Hip Hop, spanning 50 years of the influential cultural movement.

Moreover, for multiplayer enthusiasts, the update introduces fresh gaming landscapes such as Livestock, Petrov Oil Rig, and Harbor. Meanwhile, Warzone 2.0 enthusiasts can explore novel locations, such as the Verdansk Stadium and a roaming train, adding further depth to the popular battle royale experience.
