For its marketing campaign for Googlebooks, Google has brought movie star Henry Cavill on board. But he won't just be putting his face in front of the camera — in November, he plans to build a video game on a Googlebook. There is a website and an Instagram account dedicated to the project, where the latest updates will be posted.

Henry Cavill is primarily known as a movie star, particularly for his role in the The Witcher series. Gamers also know him because he has repeatedly revealed himself to be a passionate gamer. He is especially fond of the Warhammer universe.

Alongside his acting career and passion for gaming, Henry Cavill is involved in various other creative projects, including running his own production company.

Google has now brought the well-known name and distinctive face on board for its advertising campaign for the new Googlebooks. Cavill, however, doesn't simply want to lend his face to posters. As part of the campaign, he would rather create and contribute something artistic himself.

And so Google has announced that Cavill will work on a video game with the company in November. Naturally, the game will be developed on Googlebooks. What kind of game it will be, how long the project will run, and how much support he will receive from Google's developers have not yet been revealed.

But under the heading “Henry Cavill is making a video game.” you can follow the link to Instagram from the associated page (Link), or use this direct link. There, in addition to plenty of advertising for Googlebooks, you are supposed to receive regular updates on the project.

At the moment, the associated Instagram account contains no more detailed information about the project beyond the announcement. In the comments, fans are more puzzled by why Cavill's photo looks so heavily AI-generated, though.
