Peter Stormare Returns As ‘The Replacer’ To Promote Call Of Duty DLC
Back when Black Ops II was the latest game in the Call of Duty rotation, Activision created a character called The Replacer to promote the game. Played by Peter Stormare (Armageddon, Fargo), the character stepped in to give average joes more time for fraggin’.
With the first Call of Duty: Black Ops III map pack, Awakening, nearly upon us, Stormare has re-enlisted. A new video promoting the four maps and new zombies chapter features the actor returning to the role of The Replacer.
The humorous video also gives us a solid look at the four maps. And Stormare’s ankles. Meow.
The Awakening DLC will be out on February 2 for PlayStation 4. Xbox One and PC gamers will get in about 30 days later. The content is, as of now, not in the cards for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
For more on the Awakening DLC, check out our previous coverage. You can also read our review of Black Ops III from the fall.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
