While we don’t know what his exact role in the game will be, it’s a pretty safe bet that he’ll be punching and kicking people, maybe putting futuristic robots in submission holds. All in a day’s work for The Notorious.
This won’t be the first time McGregor has been re-made in a video game, he recently got a digital makeover as the poster boy for EA Sports’ UFC 2.
EA SportsHe isn’t the first sports star to feature in a Call of Duty game either, as NFL running back Marshawn Lynch got a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it cameo in Call of Duty: Black Ops 3.
We’ll probably know more about Conor’s character with the mysterious reveal later today. Infinite Warfare is out PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC November 4.
