Activision has announced an all-star cast for the zombie level of its forthcoming Black Ops ‘Escalation’ DLC.
Legendary writer/director George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead) will star alongside Sarah Michelle Gellar (Buffy the Vampire Slayer) and Robert England (Nightmare on Elm Street) in the new ‘Call of the Dead’ zombie stage; Michael Rooker (The Walking Dead) and Danny Trejo (Machete) will also lend their talents to proceedings.
“This is Treyarch's tribute to the legendary George Romero, who truly defined the zombie genre and whose incredible work has been such an inspiration to our team," said Dave Anthony, Call of Duty: Black Ops Director. “It was an absolute honour to work with such an amazing and talented cast whose passion and energy brought their characters instantly to life. Fans are going to love this.”
The Escalation DLC will include four new multiplayer maps in addition to the ‘Call of the Dead’ zombie level. It launches on Xbox Live on May 3rd, with PS3 and PC iterations following at a later date.
