Black Ops 7's Nicolas Cage skin joins an increasingly eclectic roster
Overview & Key Takeaways
Nicolas Cage is joining Black Ops 7 in Season 4 Reloaded, as part of an event-themed pass.
While Activision has claimed that the upcoming Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 won't have "clowny" skins, that seemingly doesn't apply to Black Ops 7 yet, because the mid-season update for season 4 is introducing Dracula, Superman, Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and a terrifying serial killer.
We are, of course, talking about Nicolas Cage (sorry for describing you as "clowny," Nic). The Hollywood actor played Dracula in Renfield, Superman in Teen Titans Go! To The Movies and in The Flash, Spider-Man Noir in the namesake Prime Video show, Ghost Rider in Ghost Rider, and a serial killer in Longlegs. And now, as part of the game's event pass, he's coming to Black Ops 7 on Thursday, June 25.
You'll need to fork out for the premium track to get your hands on his base skin, which features Cage dressed in all black with a bulletproof vest and short hair. If you complete the event pass, you'll unlock the unlimited variant of Cage, with long hair and a crimson snakeskin jacket.
Nic Cage joins plenty of other famous faces in Black Ops 7. Terry Crews was a skin available in Season 3, while Lucy, Maximus, and The Ghoul from Amazon's Fallout TV show were available in Season 1. They have nothing on how over-the-top the skins were in Black Ops 6, however, where you could see Roger from American Dad in a firefight with Donatello of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Alongside the two Nic Cage skins in Black Ops 7, you can get your hands on an animated Cage-themed calling card, three weapon blueprints, an emote, and a finishing move. Meanwhile, as part of the free track, you can get the AN-94 primary weapon and the Executioner's Duet melee weapon, and plenty of other cosmetics.
You can read more about the Nicolas Cage skin in Black Ops 7 in the official blog post about Season 4 Reloaded. If you're as much of a fan of the Black Ops Classic playlist as we are, it's also good news: it's being made permanent, so you can partake in the stripped-back mode whenever you like.
