Usain Bolt will be a playable character in the latest edition of Pro Evolution Soccer.
The Jamaican, a keen Manchester United fan, has previously spoken about wanting to play the game professionally, and gamers wanting to simulate that will now have the chance.
Those who pre-order PES 2018, which will be released in the United Kingdom on September 14, will have access to the sprint king.
And he admitted he was delighted to feature in the video game, calling it a ‘great honour’.
Bolt said: ‘I love football and have played PES for as long as I can remember – it’s the best football game there is – and it’s a great honour to be a part of it and its success.
‘When the opportunity arose to be a player in PES 2018, it was too good to be true.
‘Having my face and movements scanned for use in the game was a fascinating process and I hope those who pre-order the game make full use of my pace and skill!’
PES is the major competitor to EA Sports’ ultra-popular FIFA series.
Creators Konami, who will be releasing the game on Playstation 4, Xbox One, PS3 and Xbox 360, also announced they had signed up Diego Maradona as an ambassador on Tuesday.
