　　Celebrity appearances in Black Ops are nothing new. Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michael Rooker, Jeff Goldblum, Ron Perlman, and Heather Graham, among many others have appeared in Black Ops Zombies mode. Shadows and Trejo appear to be the first celebrities in Blackout, however.

　　Avenged Sevenfold has also written original music for the Black Ops series. They wrote the song "Not Ready To Die" for Black Ops 1, and the entire band even features in the credits scene for Black Ops 2 alongside a dancing Hilary Clinton. Avenged Sevenfold also wrote the song "Mad Hatter" for Black Ops 4.

　　Shadows also confirmed that Avenged Sevenfold music will appear in the updated Blackout mode. The singer said the new Blackout update will make the battle royale mode darker with an increased focus on zombies, it seems.

　　While you have to wait a while long to play as Shadows in Blackout, Black Ops 4's new Zombies expansion, Operation Apocalypse Z, is out now on PS4. Get all the details here.
