Just because you’re a tough guy who has to shoot and kill enemies at will doesn’t mean you can’t have a cute part. What if between pulling the trigger and covering yourself over and over again you had some entertainment that you could take with you to pass the time? Obviously, we are not talking about real soldiers, but about those from the game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare .
This first-person shooter game has incorporated a curious element in its latest update. Now you can wear a watch with a virtual pet on your wrist , acquiring it as if it were another weapon or accessory. This digital ‘bug’ has been called Tomogunchi and, in fiction, it has been manufactured by a fictitious company called Rothwynn Industries.
“This is more than just a watch – this is a nesting device that houses the most realistic artificial intelligence ever seen in a Rothwynn Industries wrist product. Using the latest advancements in pixel-based monochrome liquid crystal display technology, the home of your Tomogunchi is a durable, machine-made watch from the finest biodegradable plastic designed to give you the most immersive pet-based and pet-related experience. combat that has never been seen, “jokes Activision (or rather Rothwynn) in a post.
From the company, of course, they assure that they are not responsible for “any psychological stress caused by the disappearance of your Tomogunchi.”
Caring for your Tamagotchi in wartime
The name of this new addition is probably familiar to you and the Tomogunchi is a clear reference to Bandai’s Tamagotchi that was launched in 1996 and became popular in the late 90s . In the version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, as in the original, you will have to feed him, take care of his hygiene and play with him . There are different versions of animals that will hatch from the egg. The main difference is that these responsibilities will have to be carried out in full combat. The needs of the Tomogunchi know no truces.
As you take care of it, the virtual pet will grow and evolve. However, if you don’t pay enough attention to it, this re-versioned Tatagotchi can die from inattention or starvation or fall into depression.
The watch has its own physical buttons that you must press to perform the actions you want. To find out how the virtual pet of spirit is on the LCD screen of the wearable you can find four faces that represent its emotional states: it can be hungry, dirty, rebellious or sleepy. There is also a way to speed up the evolution of the Tomogunchi. It can be with achievements or metrics related to what happens during the action, such as murders, victories, etc.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is the sixteenth game in the Call of Duty franchise. It was released on October 25, 2019 and is a reinvention of the mythical Modern Warfare series.
Surely no one would have imagined that at some point in the history of videogames these two titles so representative of digital entertainment were going to intersect or mix.
