Some well-known data miners may have just found evidence of an Attack On Titan crossover with Call of Duty: Vanguard.
Nanikos, a popular figure in Call of Duty’s data mining community, stumbled across some curiosities in Call of Duty: Vanguard’s code. They found references to items “swordtitan” and “aot_titan” among other things, Video Games Chronicle reported on Monday. Things get more interesting from there, too — as Nanikos found in-game models based on items and weapons from the wildly popular Attack on Titan anime. Specifically, the Ultrahard Steel swords that several characters from the show use.
Take a look at Nanikos’ findings for yourself below.
Seems the Attack on Titan crossover is confirmed. Here is the sword model that is inside of Vanguard.
Big credit to @DRAKEHURLEYYT for finding the model through Greyhound. https://t.co/BeANQQv85o pic.twitter.com/DmAtzOuTXa

Yup, these sure look like references to Attack on Titan in Call of Duty: Vanguard’s code.
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

While it looks like the crossover is all but confirmed, remember to take these sorts of leaks with a pinch of salt. There’s strong evidence to back everything up, of course, yet it’s all up in the air until Activision Blizzard makes the announcement.
We thought Call of Duty: Vanguard was going through the motions too much in our review. However, it has its moments, like when someone ran over an enemy team with a tiny tank. If nothing else, it’ll be a nice holdover until the next Warzone map comes out.
