Then again, “infinite warfare” does sound a lot like what Jon Snow has been up against throughout _Thrones_, so maybe it’s not so different after all. Using state-of-the-art [performance capture technology](http://time.com/4362675/kit-harington-video-jon-snow-game-of-thrones/ "undefined"), the _Call of Duty_ team and director Guy Ritchie filmed Harington over the course of a week to bring his dark character to life for the futuristic video game. The game is a classic war story: players are captains of their own warships, fighting space-age battles against the evil Settlement Defense Front, which Harington’s character leads. Apparently his Admiral will pursue players throughout the narrative of the game, culminating in a major showdown. So looks like you’ll have to go up against Jon Snow in order to win the game. It’s out in November on Playstation 4, Xbox One, and PC. But for a quicker Harington fix, there’s always the _Game of Thrones_ season finale this Sunday. In the meantime, check out the photos of Harington filming for his _Call of Duty_ character, above.
