Call of Duty: Modern Warfare now has the Tomogunchi watch developer Infinity Ward teased before the game came out in 2019.
The 1000 COD Points (around £8) cosmetic, which is included in a bundle, features a retro style and, on its face, a critter that’s struggling to crack open from its initial egg form.
There’s a lot more to the Tomogunchi than the other watches in the game – so much so that it’s basically its own mini-game you play while fighting in multiplayer.
Eventually, your egg explodes and a baby Tomogunchi appears. Then it’s a case of keeping it alive long enough for it to grow into a child, a teen and finally into an adult.
Players are trying to figure out how all this works now after Tomogunchi went live last night. And Infinity Ward is keeping its cards close to its chest. “Are there multiple pet forms and options to discover?” the studio said in a blog post. “We aren’t saying.”

To check your watch in a game you press the d-pad up or press the up arrow key and use the watch interact gesture. I found this difficult to do while playing the smaller maps in the game as standing still usually results in death. But there are plenty of opportunities for checking your Tomogunchi on the larger maps where… camping is the aim of the game.
