It seems that Devin Booker will soon join his Phoenix Suns teammate Kevin Durant as one of the only two NBA players to be featured in Activision’s video game Call of Duty.
According to a prominent Call of Duty leaker, Booker’s in-game character will make his debut in Season 3 of the game. He will reportedly be available as a character in the game’s battle royale mode known as Warzone and will also be one of the Modern Warfare 3 operators.
While this news may excite some fans, others on social media aren’t exactly thrilled about seeing Devin Booker become a video game character. Some even suggested that Ja Morant would be a more suitable candidate for such a feature, given his controversial history. Here’s what some fans had to say on X:
“This is Book’s greatest accomplishment.”
Reflecting on Kevin Durant’s Involvement in Call of Duty:
In May 2023, Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant made his debut as a playable character in the Call of Duty franchise. Initially exclusive to the game’s mobile version, KD’s character was later made available in the console and PC version, Warzone, due to popular demand.
While this crossover may seem unusual, modern video games frequently incorporate collaborations with prominent figures for marketing and financial purposes. The Call of Duty franchise boasts other well-known names in their roster of operators, including rappers Snoop Dogg and Nicki Minaj.
Building on the success of Kevin Durant’s inclusion in the game, Activision likely aims to achieve similar success with Devin Booker. Durant’s skin bundle sold for 2,400 CoD Points, approximately $20. It is anticipated that Booker’s skin will be priced similarly, although an official announcement from Activision is awaited.
For those interested in purchasing Devin Booker in Call of Duty, it is advisable to make the purchase promptly as he will only be available in the shop for a limited time. While Kevin Durant is no longer available in the shop, he may occasionally reappear.
