Dutch DJ Oliver Heldens has teamed up with Activision on the new techno banger for the new game.

EDM superstar and 'Call of Duty' superfan Oliver Heldens has released the dance tune ‘Sound of Vondel’ to coincide with the launch of 'Call Of Duty: Warzone Season 04'.

The techno banger - which sees the Dutch DJ reprise his techno alias HI-LO - will also be heard when entering the Battle Royale map Vondel in-game.

Heldens previously named some of his early tracks after weapons from previous 'Call of Duty' titles.

He said: “I’ve been playing Call of Duty for as long as I can remember.

“I even named a bunch of my first officially released tracks in 2013 based upon inspiration from the iconic Modern Warfare 2 game. To collaborate with the Activision team and to create some truly authentic music as the official anthem for the new Vondel map in Warzone is a massive honor to me!”

Michelle Bresaw, VP and Head of Live Services at Activision, commented: “Collaborating with Oliver Heldens has been an extremely exciting project for us.

“With the launch of Vondel, we wanted to encapsulate the Baroque feel of our new medium-sized Warzone map through a well-known European export, EDM. The marrying of a global DJ and the Call of Duty franchise acts as a celebration of what’s possible when the games and music industries collide.”

Heldens - who is best known for hits including 'Gecko (Overdrive)', 'Last All Night (Koala)' and 'The Right Song' - also revealed his favourite loadout.

He said: “I like running an assault rifle together with a sniper rifle, nowadays the TAQ-56 (Scar) and the Intervention or the SPX-80. Tactical: Stun Grenade. Lethal: Proximity Mine or Frag Grenade. Perks: Overkill, Bomb Squad, Fast Hands, Ghost.”

'Call of Duty: Warzone Season 04' is out now across all platforms.
