If you have ever wanted to utilize a 6-foot-10 former NBA MVP to pick off NPCs, 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 when the game's "Season 03 Reloaded" update drops on May 10. Durant will be available as a part of a limited-time Store Bundle.

Here are some images of Durant in the game.

Durant’s Store Bundle will feature Weapons Blueprints (in reference to his nicknames of “Easy Money Sniper” and “Slim Reaper”), basketball-themed finishing moves and emblems, plus more.

Durant, 34, 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 an interesting choice here by going with Durant, though. After all, one of his own Suns teammates appears to be an even bigger fan of the game.
