Treyarch Vows to 'Calibrate' Call of Duty Skins After Player Criticism

Developers say they are weighing community sentiment to balance representation with aesthetics.

Overview

  • Associate creative director Miles Leslie told IGN the team will "calibrate" future cosmetics and is taking feedback seriously.
  • Director of communications Stephanie Snowden said Treyarch is tracking sentiment across modes and will consider that input for future offerings.
  • PC Gamer reports that starting with Season 1 of Black Ops 7, weapons and cosmetics from Black Ops 6 are expected to carry forward.
  • Battlefield 6 developers have pledged to keep cosmetics grounded, creating a clear contrast with Call of Duty’s crossover-heavy approach.
