Everyone’s favourite stand-in – The Replacer – is back, creating total chaos to help Call of Duty players play hooky when Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launches worldwide on 14 November AEDT/UTC +8.

To kick things off, The Replacer heads to space, filling in for some of humanity’s finest and brightest as they attempt to populate a new colony on Mars. A tongue-in-cheek play on the Blue Origin celebrity space adventure we saw unfold this year, but this time things go sideways… Our favourite character is forced to call in “Replacer replacers” to cover for him while he’s stuck in orbit, and ensure everybody is able to get proper Black Ops 7 play time.

Check out the first The Replacer video here, featuring Love Island’s Huda Mustafa, influencer Jake Paul, actor Terry Crews, comedian Nikki Glazer… and one very confused baboon.
