The GMC HUMMER EV isn't content to conquer real-world terrain. It's also out to conquer it in the gaming world as well. The pickup will soon make is debut in Activision’s Call of Duty video game franchise - the first as the first all-electric supertruck to do so.
It certainly has the numbers to evoke confidence in the gaming universe. We're talking up to a GM-estimated 1,000 horsepower, along with 11,500 lb.-ft. of torque, and a 0-60 mph time of approximately 3-seconds. Plus 13 inches of suspension travel make it more than off-road capable. Combine all that and GMC says HUMMER EV Pickup is the perfect truck for players to transport their team across any map, featuring a variety of terrains and conditions.
“The GMC HUMMER EV Pickup is truly the world’s first all-electric supertruck. Now, it is entering the gaming world where it will define a new chapter of capability and bring players together across the globe,” said Duncan Aldred, vice president of Global Buick and GMC. “Bringing the supertruck into Call of Duty will allow players to elevate their experience and provide a new way to play, powered by a nearly quiet and fast-accelerating EV.”
The year ushers in new era for the Call of Duty franchise and GMC says Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II brings with it a new level of engagement to players. The GMC HUMMER EV Pickup is the first all-electric vehicle in the Call of Duty franchise and will be a playable vehicle in Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, in addition to making an appearance in the action-packed Modern Warfare II single-player campaign.
“We’re excited to bring the GMC HUMMER EV Pickup into the fold for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0,” said William Gahagan, director of Global Partnerships at Activision. “There’s nothing like driving across Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 in an all-electric, 1,000 horsepower supertruck. I can’t wait for players to get their hands on it this fall.”
The HUMMER EV Pickup will make its debut in Call of Duty Modern Warfare II on Oct. 28, 2022, and Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 coming this fall.
