In a move that further solidifies Kevin Durant’s multifaceted persona, the two-time NBA champion has added “playable video game character” to his diverse resume. Activision, the publisher of the renowned video game Call of Duty, has acknowledged Durant’s passion for gaming by introducing his own in-game skin.

Known not only for his prowess on the basketball court but also for his roles as a tech imprint investor and media company owner, Durant’s latest venture into the gaming world has created a buzz among avid Call of Duty players. Speculations arose among the gaming community when a building in the game was marked with an unmistakable “Easy Money Sniper” nod, a direct reference to Durant’s Instagram handle.

The exclusive bundle accompanying Durant’s operator skin is set to include two weapon blueprints, each paying homage to his iconic nicknames. The “Reap This” AR blueprint and the “Easy Money” sniper blueprint are tailored for the all-around Operator, mirroring Durant’s versatility on the hardwood. In addition to the weapon blueprints, the bundle features a “deadly from downtown” finishing move, a “b-ball” weapon charm, an “ankle-breaker” loading screen, a ‘hoops’ sticker, and the animated emblem “KD baller.”

Fans and gamers alike can anticipate the availability of KD’s operator skin and bundle through the Call of Duty store, expected to coincide with the Season Three Reloaded update. Early reports suggest a potential release date of May 17 for this anticipated update.

In a parallel development, Kevin Durant has recently inked a lifetime contract with Nike, further solidifying his presence both on and off the court. As Durant continues to diversify his ventures, his foray into the digital realm exemplifies the seamless integration of sports and gaming, creating new avenues for athletes to connect with fans and enthusiasts worldwide.
