The latest Dune tie-in DLC for Call of Duty has been announced, featuring characters Feyd-Rautha and Paul Atreides. The actors who play them, Austin Butler and Timothee Chalamet, have settled the score on who is better at the game.
Activision arranged for the two actors to have a knives-only cage fight on the fan-favorite map Rust. Butler and Chalamet also discuss how their in-game characters look, with Chalamet commenting that he looks better in the game than in real life. Be sure to watch until the end to see who emerges as the winner.
The Paul Atreides bundle is now available in Call of Duty for 2,400 COD Points, which translates to about $20. The Feyd-Rautha bundle is expected to be released at a later date. Additionally, there is currently a Dune: Trial of Power in-game event underway, allowing players to unlock extra content in Modern Warfare III and Warzone.
Prior to his acting career, Chalamet operated a YouTube channel called ModdedController360, where he showcased his custom-painted Xbox 360 controllers. At The Game Awards, Chalamet was introduced as ModdedController360 before taking the stage to announce Baldur's Gate 3 as the Game of the Year. Chalamet's personal Game of the Year, however, was Spider-Man 2.
Don't miss the latest Dune: Part II trailer. Originally set for a November release, the film has been postponed to March. Also, don't forget to take advantage of the free trial for Modern Warfare III's multiplayer, available until December 18.
Editor's P/S
As a passionate fan of both Dune and Call of Duty, I am thrilled to see the collaboration between these two iconic franchises. The idea of Timothée Chalamet and Austin Butler engaging in a knives-only combat in the Rust map of Modern Warfare 3 is simply exhilarating. It's a unique and creative way to promote the upcoming Dune: Part II movie and engage with fans.
Watching the two actors showcase their gaming skills and engage in friendly banter is a delight. It's clear that they are both passionate gamers and fans of the Call of Duty series. The fact that Chalamet used to run a YouTube channel dedicated to custom-painted Xbox controllers further demonstrates his passion for gaming. His personal Game of the Year choice, Spider-Man 2, also resonates with me as a fellow fan of superhero games.
