This one-of-a-kind cooperation introduces the mobile suit "RX-78-2 Gundam" and the operator skin "RX-78-2 Gundam," both of which make their game debuts. Along with the graphic, fans have received a statement from umegrafix, the creative illustrator behind the cooperation artwork.

Umegrafix, the illustrator responsible for the promotional art, expressed his excitement and surprise at the collaboration:
"To be honest, I was very surprised that CoD (CALL OF DUTY), loved by FPS fans all over the world, would collaborate with Gundam, which we Japanese anime fans have loved since we were children. When I saw the Gundam suit design created by a CoD artist, I was even more surprised at how well-made it was (it can't be done without love!). I was honored to hear that the illustration I was asked to create was exclusively for North American promotion. I tried to make the illustration as heroic and elegant as possible so that CoD fans who are not familiar with Gundam would also like it. I was happy to be able to take on the challenge of drawing such an exciting theme. I hope you all enjoy it!"
