A new, live-action Modern Warfare 3 trailer has been used to debut 21 Savage’s latest song.

Modern Warfare is no stranger to big names, and musicians have appeared both in-game and in promotions for several years.

The trailer allowed rapper 21 Savage and singer-songwriter D4vd to debut their new song ‘Call Me Revenge’.

The live-action trailer ‘The Lobby’, created by David Leitch, is not the first promotional video from the franchise to feature celebrity musicians.

In 2021, Young Thug and Jack Harlow featured in a Warzone trailer, and Snoop Dogg and Nicki Minaj have both appeared in franchise titles previously.

The new Modern Warfare trailer is full of big names

As well as 21 Savage, there are several big names featured in the trailer, including NBA star Devin Booker and UK artist Central Cee.

Tyler Bahl, Head of Marketing for Activision, said: “As we commemorate this monumental milestone for the Call of Duty franchise, we believe it’s essential to honour our player community through our work.

“For the first time, ‘The Lobby’ features COD players, celebrities, and in-game characters squad-ing up together before a match. The film serves as a poignant reminder of our iconic tagline: ‘There is a soldier in all of us,’ which we are thrilled to reintroduce.”

The tagline ‘There is a soldier in all of us’ has not been used since 2017, with its most recent appearance being a trailer for Black Ops 4.
