Black Sabbath’s Ozzy Osbourne would be the last person you would think to play VR video games, but here he is, in an ad for Guerilla Games’ Horizon Call of the Mountain.
Check him out:
If anything, the ad doesn’t just sell Call of the Mountain, but the PS VR2 rig as well. Osbourne doesn’t really go in-depth with any of the features, but as long as the game has robot dinosaurs, it’s probably a Horizon game (or probably Zoids).
I guess having celebrities sell games even if they aren’t gamers is kind of a regular thing when it comes to the industry; I doubt that Ming-Na Wen plays Elden Ring or Anna Kendrick tried out Star Wars Battlefront, but I won’t really fault the marketing team for trying.
Here’s the official description for the game:
