Call of Duty: Ghosts gets launch trailer with Eminem's new song

With one of the biggest games of the year—Call of Duty: Ghosts—being just a couple of weeks away, Activision has released a launch trailer. The trailer gives us a look at some of the gameplay that will be featured in the upcoming game, all happening with Eminem’s Survival playing in the background. Check it out:

If the trailer is anything to go by, Ghosts isn’t abandoning the Michael Bay-esque storylines that Call of Duty is famous for. Players will get to see a ton of explosions on every conceivable medium, be it land, water or even space. It also shows one of the main stars of the game, the dog, fighting off a pack of wolves.

The tie-up between Activision and Eminem for the launches of the new Call of Duty and the latter’s new album has been quite interesting. In the US, pre-ordering or buying the game from certain outlets gets buyers a free copy of the rap artist’s latest upcoming albums, which features the songs Berzerk and Survival.

The plot of the game goes like this: Ten years after a devastating mass event, the nation’s borders and the balance of global power have been redrawn forever.
