Sony Pictures Consumer Products has officially confirmed a highly anticipated crossover between the popular mobile game Call of Duty: Mobile and the hit TV series The Boys.

While developers have not yet provided a confirmed release date or full content breakdown, the update is expected to introduce three playable characters from The Boys universe, along with exclusive in-game items.
The crossover announcement was part of Sony's licensing rollout for the final season of The Boys, with the tagline "The Boys answer the call this summer" highlighting the partnership. This update will coincide with Call of Duty: Mobile Season 5, though it has not yet appeared on Activision's official roadmap.
