Ahead of the fifth and final season of “The Boys” premiering on Prime Video Wednesday, Sony Pictures Consumer Products has unveiled an expansive global licensing initiative tied to the satirical superhero television series, including an upcoming “Call of Duty” collaboration.
Launching in the summer, the in-game integration will feature three playable characters from “The Boys,” themed bundles and rewards and show-inspired weapons and content.
While a high-profile AAA collab, the “Call of Duty” crossover isn’t “The Boys” IP’s first foray into video games. Last month, Sony launched VR title “The Boys: Trigger Warning,” and the Amazon show has previously teamed up with “Mortal Kombat 1” for DLC featuring the character Homelander.
“’The Boys’ has become a fearless cultural force, known for pushing boundaries and redefining the superhero genre,” said Jamie Stevens, EVP, Worldwide Consumer Products, Sony Pictures Entertainment. “For the final season, we focused on partnering with brands that authentically align with the series’ bold tone and devoted fan base, creating products and experiences that extend the world of Vought and our fan-favorite vigilantes, ‘The Boys,’ in ways that feel immersive, unexpected and globally resonant.”
