Mads Mikkelsen plays the villain The Archer as Infinity Ward ramps up promotion for a game that launches on Oct. 23.
- On Thursday, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 revealed Danish actor Mads Mikkelsen as villain "The Archer," with the game launching October 23 on PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch.
- Microsoft is executing a "major reset" involving around 3,200 layoffs, following last year's Black Ops underperformance against Battlefield amid broader financial struggles.
- Known for Hannibal, Casino Royale, and Death Stranding, Mikkelsen joins alongside the trailer's conflict between Captain Price and Ghost, the latter a major character in this timeline.
