Lewis Hamilton Will Appear In The New Call Of Duty Game For Some Reason
Weāre used to seeing Lewis Hamilton featured in Formula 1 video games thanks to the championshipās official game franchise, but the Mercedes driver has confirmed he will appear in a very different title.
The reigning world champion - who is currently fighting for a fourth title - will be part of the next installment of the Call of Duty franchise, which is released in November.
The new first-person shooter titled Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare will feature an appearance from Hamilton, with the news being broken first by French station M6 broadcast, which included an interview and footage of him taking part in motion capture filming.
It's awesome to think I'll be a character in @callofduty! Be sure to check out #InfiniteWarfare this November! šš¾šā#ambassador;ā lewishamilton
Itās an unusual tie-up between Hamilton and Call of Duty, but whatever you say about him, heās definitely giving a huge amount of exposure to F1 in his various projects.
Hamilton officially confirmed on Twitter that heāll be part of the Infinite Warfare title, posting a picture of his character in the game.
Apparently he recorded six scenes for Infinite Warfare, with lines such as ācaptain, news reports coming on about the gateway if you want to join usā and āIām right behind youā. If all this sounds a little bizarre, thatās probably because it is. Massively so.
The game comes out on the 4 November for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows PC. Be sure to look out for Hamiltonās appearance if you get it!

Heās just there to win everything
Wow, I thought it was just some weird photoshoot thing he does. I didnāt realise it was real!
He will finally have a chance to kill his teammateā¦
Being a game focused on killing people, I would have expected Maldonado in a Mustang.
Just for fun, check the amount of dislikes on the Infinite Warfare reveal trailer.
Honestly, I doubt this will help Hamiltonās career.
Besides, Iām what you might call a āCall of Dutyā purist.
The most important questionā¦
Can he be shot? Or is he one of those stupidly unshootable characters ?
Because when Iām shooting things up, Iām thinking about drivingā¦ in trafficā¦ oh, wait, Iām from New York this is normal.
He then gets betrayed by Captain Lauda who sent him with Rosberg on a covert mission which ends with Rosberg betraying Hamilton by ejecting him from his vehicle to his doom while Rosberg clinches the golden medal of honor. The game ends with a preview of its sequel where Maldonado learns of this betrayal and says he will avenge in the name Hamilton.
