The publisher of "Call of Duty: WWII" is releasing a rebel and classic motorcycle in partnership with a motorcycle manufacturer to promote the shooter game.
"Call of Duty" publisher Activision teamed up with Indian Motorcycle to produce a vintage-looking motorcycle, which was inspired by the historic bikes used by the US Army during the World War II. The promotional motorcycle, which revives the old-fashioned, military vibe, was another take on the Indian 2018's Scout motorcycle version, but it was made to look more like the 40s' Scout 741B.
Players of "Call of Duty: WWII" could also expect to see the Scout 741B in the game. "While developing 'Call of Duty: WWII,' it was appropriate for Indian Motorcycle to collaborate with Activision in using the period-correct motorcycle, an Indian Scout 741B," Indian marketing director Reid Wilson said to The Drive.
Neither Activision nor Indian Motorcycle has revealed whether this collaborative product would be for sale. That said, one of five custom-made motorcycles will be raffled, with the winner to be announced in February 2018. The motorcycle sports an Olive Drab green paint job and an exhaust painted with matte black, a modern take on a historic vehicle. All those interested will just have to purchase a season pass from GameStop.
The addition of the Scout 741B was believed to add "authenticity" of the game, befitting the era the "Call of Duty: WWII" is set in. The latest franchise, released on Nov. 3, Friday, showcased the history-rich event, allowing players to experience the second world war.
The game is described as "a breathtaking experience that redefines World War II for a new gaming generation." "Call of Duty: WWII" will also take players to some key locations of the war.
"Call of Duty: WWII" is available to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC players.
