Activision / Infinity Ward / Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4
Tokyo Game Show is underway, meaning more video game announcements and trailers, including a new look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4’s campaign trailer, revealing that Casino Royale and Death Stranding star Mads Mikkelsen is in the game.
During the XBOX Tokyo Game Show broadcast, Infinity Ward delivered a new trailer for Modern Warfare 4’s campaign, and we are very excited to play it.
Who Is Mads Mikkelsen Playing In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4?
A blurb for the trailer revealed that Mikkelsen will play the new COD big bad, The Archer, and that the game will focus on “the threat of a weapon that could overturn the world order in the hands of the villainous Archer.”
Here is a full breakdown of the game’s story via Activision / Infinity Ward:
Price is on the run, conflict has erupted on the Korean Peninsula, and a catastrophic weapon of war is on the verge of falling into the wrong hands. Following the assassination of General Shepherd in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, Task Force 141 has been disbanded when its leader, John Price, goes on the run. There’s a growing conflict between the remnants of 141, as Ghost questions Price’s unlawful methods. Was Price right to take the law into his own hands, or has he betrayed everything he once stood for? Regardless, there’s a target on his back as Ghost and Gaz are tasked to capture or kill their former captain.
In parallel with the Korean invasion and the ongoing manhunt for Price lies an even greater threat. An unknown weapon of war is being delivered to a dangerous enemy known only as The Archer. What’s the weapon capable of, and what are the Archer’s motives in acquiring it?
It looks like we might have an all-timer here with this campaign, but we won’t find out until we get hands-on- or shall we say, boots on the ground with the game.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 launches on October 23, with campaign early access live on October 16 for those who pre-order the Standard Digital Edition or Vault Edition.
