The actor revealed the casting via Twitter, but initially mistook the game for a Battlefield spin-off.
"Just signed on to do the new AO4 video game for Electronic Arts. Some splinter from Battlefield. Finally, my kids think I am cool again," he wrote.

EA is yet to officially announce the game, though it has been linked with an unveiling at next week's Game Developers Conference.
