Who you gonna call?

A new tweet from the officialCall of DutyTwitter appears to be teasing the return of one of the blockbuster franchise’s best-remembered characters: Ghost. The short teaser video takes the form of a personnel database, and has (presumably) Captain Price calling the fan-favourite back to the fight.

“Ghost” is the call-name of British operative Simon Riley, who made his debut in 2009’sModern Warfare 2.Despite not even making it to the final reel of that entry’s campaign, Ghost become a popular figure among theCoDplayerbase, thanks to his “badass” attitude, and sinister look – basically, he has a skull bandana/mask, and peoplereallydig that shit.

Despite the problematic issue of being dead, Ghost would appear in furtherCoDgames such asCall of Duty: GhostsandCall of Duty Online, while also making frequent cameos throughoutlore and marketing. Ghost’s return is teased in the finale ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare(2019), and no doubt this new tweet is the precursor to the skelebob sniper taking to the battlefield once again.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One.
