Rumours that Harington, 29, had a role in the game started last week when a video circulated of him in what looked like a motion capture sphere.
Now the news has been officially confirmed and Harington has been revealed as the franchise's newest villain, reported Digital Spy.
Infinite Warfare's narrative director, Taylor Kurosaki, said, "Kit is an amazing talent, and the consummate pro. Our story is about an epic showdown of opposing forces, and Kit immersed himself into the role and truly became the embodiment of the enemy, the Settlement Defense Front. We can't wait for fans to see Kit play an entirely different kind of character."
It was also announced that director Guy Ritchie will be working on the game as a creative advisor.
"Guy Ritchie is a friend of the franchise, so it was great to have him back to work with us, assisting in bringing Kit Harington's character to life in Infinite Warfare," Stohl added.
