Microsoft took advantage of its show at the Tokyo Game Show to show a new trailer for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, Infinity Ward's long-awaited FPS arriving on October 23rd. The footage focuses on the game's Campaign, and reveals an exceptional actor to play the villain of the game: Mads Mikkelsen.

The Danish actor appears in the last moments of the short film, and his appearance leaves no room for doubt about his intentions. In fact, the character seems to oppose in some way the legendary Captain Price of the SAS, to whom he addresses a rather explicit threat, promising him that everything he loves is destined to die. These are his words: "I'll make you beg for mercy. When everything and everyone you care about dies in ways you can't even imagine. The things you'll see..."

For Mikkelsen this is neither the first role in a video game nor the first time as a villain. His most famous interpretation in this area probably remains that of Clifford Unger in Hideo Kojima's Death Stranding , and precisely because of the face scanning the new character is, understandably, identical to the actor.

His role within the plot remains shrouded in mystery for now, and there are those who may find the arrival of such a central figure in the narrative a bit strange at this point in the reboot cycle of the series. The fact remains that Infinity Ward has managed to secure an interpreter of great depth.

We leave you to the new trailer: enjoy!
