A new Call of Duty Warzone dog skin included in season 4 of the battle royale game is the subject of controversy as an artist accuses Activision of plagiarizing a design he created two years earlier. The “Loyal Samoyed” skin, introduced in the “Floof Fury” plotter pack, replaces operator Kim Tae Young’s head with that of the giant, fluffy puppy breed.
concept artist navigation claims that the skin, which is also sporting a black and white patterned scarf and blue camo clothing, closely resembles a design called “Samoye Medical” that they uploaded to Artstation in December 2019. They posted comparison photos on their Twitter account, along with a status statement.
“I am the original artist who ripped off the Vanguard Samoyed CoD look from,” writes Sail Lin, “Although I am a CoD player, I am very disappointed to see my work ripped off by a big company like Activision this time.” way.” They say they contacted Activision to request “an explanation and/or compensation”.
Warzone developer Raven Software has yet to respond to the allegations, though several mentions of the skin have been removed from its official Twitter account and website. Raven’s blog talking about the Warzone Season 4 release, which previously featured images of the Loyal Samoyed skin, no longer features the images on the current version of the page (as noted by Polygon).
