Thanks to the activity of a dataminer, we could have a clue relating to a crossover between Call of Duty Vanguard and the beloved anime series The attack of the Giants, with reference to the title of the latter.
The new chapter of the famous shooter game saga has only been out for a couple of days (at this link you can find our preview analysis), but already on the web the community has had the opportunity to explore the game in depth.
The case in question has been brought to attention in the past few hours, where the dataminer Nanikos (already author of other discoveries thanks to the activity) revealed a curious reference to the famous anime The attack of the Giants within the strings found in the code strings of Call of Duty Vanguard.
As you can see in the image below, an operator is referred to as “aot_titan”(Aot as an acronym of the original title Attack On Titan). Operators are playable characters in call of Duty.
Been quite a few things found in memory dumps for vanguard. The most interesting one being a mention of a “swordtitan” aswell as an “aot_titan” operator.
The theory is that there’ll be an Attack On Titan crossover for vanguard. (Probably sometime december if that is the case) pic.twitter.com/DiPALtUDY6

I found a couple of things in the Call of Duty Vanguard memory banks. The most interesting is the mention of a “swordtitan”, as well as an “aot_titan” operator.
My theory is that there will be a crossover coming up between Attack on Titan and Vanguard (probably in December, if that’s the case).
There is also talk of a weapon, the “swordtitan“, But despite not having much other data available we could hypothesize that it is a content that could be bundled. It is not the first time that we have seen such a thing in the shooter saga: recently we have seen the participation of John McClaine (Die Hard), Rambo and Judge Dredd.
Other dataminers have found traces of code related to a close combat weapon, just in reference to the swordtitan. Whether this crossover is real or not, we will have to wait for further updates from Activision.
Before leaving, we remind you that the second part of the final season of The attack of the Giants will start shortly. Link to our dedicated article to find out more.
