Treyarch is shedding a little more light on the villain in its upcoming release Call of Duty: Black Ops II, due Nov. 13 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PCs.
This new video, also available on YouTube and the official Call of Duty site, sets up Raul Menendez as "the Messiah of the 99%" to the populace, but has global terrorism on his mind.
The teaser video notes the contributions of writer David S. Goyer (co-writer of The Dark Knight Rises) and Trent Reznor (Academy Award-winning music composer for The Social Network) on the game.
Treyarch's Dave Anthony, who directed and co-wrote the story, told Game Hunters recently that Black Ops II "is like an eight-hour movie, and we're doing story branching, so the game can have multiple outcomes as you are coming through it. So Trent not only had to somehow assimilate this eight-hour story but he also had to take in all the multiple character arcs that could happen depending on how you play it."
The game continues the story of Special Forces operative Alex Mason, who helped thwart Russian attack plans in the Sixties in 2010's Black Ops. The sequel picks up after the events of Black Ops, but at the same time takes the story into the future, the year 2025, where Mason's son, David Mason, is a Special Forces operatives assigned to protect the President.
Menendez is manipulating a cold war between the U.S. and China and the countries' reliance on rare earth metals. (Technology consultant Peter Singer talked about the reality of such a thing in a recent interview.)
