Electronic Arts today announced that Linkin Park will headline the in-game soundtrack for Medal of Honor with the lead song to their new album A Thousand Suns (releasing on September 14).

The song, entitled “The Catalyst,” will be featured in an exclusive trailer directed by the band’s Joe Hahn. The trailer is a mix of Linkin Park and Medal of Honor footage and will be released exclusively on August 1 at medalofhonor.com/linkinpark, one day before the song is released to radio, iTunes and other media. In the mean time, check out a teaser trailer below.

For the first time in its 11-year history, Medal of Honor leaves the WWII theatre and enters the modern setting of war-torn Afghanistan. The game is told through the lens of a small band of fictional characters. Medal of Honor introduces players to the Tier 1 Operator, an elite warrior and relatively unknown instrument of the U.S. Military that operates under the National Command Authority to take on missions no one else can handle.

Medal of Honor launches on October 12, 2010 in North America and October 15 in Europe for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC.
