Suns’ Kevin Durant Joins ‘Call of Duty’ as Playable Character

While Kevin Durant seeks to bring the Suns their first NBA title, the Slim Reaper also is taking his talents to Call of Duty Season 3 Reloaded.

Durant will serve as an official operator in the popular video game series. Call of Duty confirmed Durant is joining the game, stating “Arguably a G.O.A.T. at his own game, #35, KD — Kevin Durant — is dropping in to take over ours” on the game’s website.

The 13-time All-Star will be part of a limited-time store bundle that will be released May 10 with Season 3 Reloaded. As the official operator, the bundle will include two weapon blueprints for Durant that stem from his nicknames. They include the “Reap This” AR blueprint and the “Easy Money” sniper blueprint.

“Both blueprints are built for the all-around operator, just like how KD built himself up to be deadly all over the hardwood,” according to the game’s press release.

Durant also will have a “Deadly from Downtown” finishing move, a charm entitled “B-Ball,” an “Ankle-Breaker” loading screen, a “Hoops” sticker and a spirited “KD Baller” emblem.

The Suns star also will be on Call of Duty Mobile Season 4 Veiled Uprising beginning May 18.
