When you think of a Formula One driver being featured in a video game, you would assume that it would be a racing game. However, this is not the case for Lewis Hamilton as he reveals that he will have a character in the latest Call of Duty game, which will be released in November.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will be released on November 4 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Microsoft Windows. The game received a little criticism following its reveal, but it has still been rated positively by reviewers and was even nominated as the Best Action Game at the 2016 Game Critics Awards, although it lost to Battlefield’s latest game.
It had been rumored that Hamilton was linked to the latest Cal of Duty game, but it wasn’t confirmed until Tuesday, when footage was released of him during the motion capture process. He later confirmed the news on his Twitter:
It’s awesome to think I’ll be a character in @callofduty! Be sure to check out #InfiniteWarfare this November! ???????#ambassador pic.twitter.com/HDoE8tpqTU
