digital · 2026-07-16

Aston Martin has created the Dreadnought, a fully digital futuristic SUV, as a playable vehicle in the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, set for release on October 23, 2026. Designed without the constraints of physical engineering, the Dreadnought features an aggressive aesthetic with a V12-like appearance, herringbone weave carbon fiber bodywork, Chiltern Green paint, and a luxurious interior with Oxford Tan leather and gold accents. The vehicle draws design cues from Aston's Valour supercar, the track-only Vulcan (2015), and hints of the Halo Warthog and Virgil Abloh's Project Maybach. Marek Reichman, Aston Martin Chief Creative Officer, described it as a 'deliberately extreme creation' that redefines the brand's possibilities. Stefano Saporetti, Director of Brand Diversification, called the collaboration a 'strategic gateway' to engage younger audiences. The Dreadnought joins Aston's existing presence in Gran Turismo, Forza, Fortnite, and PUBG: Battlegrounds, marking a push into gaming culture beyond traditional advertising.
