A legend dies: remember the games in which Ozzy Osbourne participated

Ozzy Osbourne, a heavy metal legend, unfortunately died today (22) at 76. The star’s death occurred just a few weeks after his reunion with Black Sabbath members to do a farewell show. The singer faced several health problems in recent years, but the cause of death has not been disclosed to the public.

The singer’s family commented:

“It is with a greater sadness than mere words can express that we need to inform that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded with love. We ask everyone to respect the privacy of our family at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.“

Being such a big name in the music world, the singer also did not fail to make some appearances in the game industry. To honor this star, we have separated here some of its main participations in games.

Brütal Legend

Being a game totally focused on Heavy Metal, it was obvious that Ozzy could not be left out of brutal Legends. The actor lent his voice and appearance to the Metal Guardian, a character who helped players during the campaign providing upgrades for the equipment.

This was probably the singer’s only big role in the industry, but who undoubtedly left his mark, having participated in the project alongside other stars such as Jack Black, Lemmy Kilmister, Rob Halford and Lita Ford.

Guitar Hero: World Tour

A music game that had the most popular songs would not leave Ozzy out. The singer appeared as one of the unlockable playable characters, even with his classic gesture on stage. In addition, two songs from the singer were also present in the game: Crazy Train and Mr. Crowley.

World of Warcraft Propaganda

The singer was already called by Blizzard to participate in an advertisement of the acclaimed MMORPG World of Warcraft. Ozzy made the commercial for the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, placing his personality as “Prince of Darkness”To challenge the“Lich King”.

Savage Skies

Savage Skies was a game released in 2002 for PlayStation 2. The final game had no relationship with Ozzy, but the project would initially be a game based on the artist’s songs. Savage Skies started with an air combat game based on the song Black Skies and would be attended by the singer. Due to licensing difficulties and twin tower attack at the time, the partnership was closed and the modified game to remove the mentions to the singer.
