If you have ever wanted a 6-foot-10 former NBA MVP to pick off NPCs with, you are officially in luck.

The popular first-person shooter video game “Call of Duty” announced on Wednesday that Phoenix Suns star Kevin Durant will be a playable character in the game when the Season 03 Reloaded update drops on May 10. Durant is set to be available as a part of a limited-time Store Bundle.

Here are some images of Durant in the game.

The 34-year-old Durant is a 38.5 percent career three-point shooter who just produced the second 50-40-90 season of his NBA career. But now he will be showing off a different kind of shooting skills in the virtual realm.

“Call of Duty” made a pretty interesting choice here by going with Durant though. After all, one of Durant’s own teammates on the Suns appears to be an even bigger fan of the game.
