Danny Trejo will appear in the adorable skateboarding game OlliOlli World

Machete is a master at kickflips.

A cutesy action-platformer about skateboarding might be the last place you’d expect Danny Trejo to show up, but that’s where you’ll find him in OlliOlli World.

As part of OlliOlli World’s  launch on Feb. 8, the Machete  star will appear as an in-game character. According to Trejo himself, he’ll be “hosting” a side-quest. It’s hard to know how significant his role will be in the grand scheme of things, but seeing such a massive actor in something smaller-scale like OlliOlli World  is cool. Hopefully, they utilize his talents better  than Far Cry 6  did.

Check out Trejo’s in-game model for yourself below.  

OlliOlli World  is actually from a fairly experienced team despite its  indie-like appearance. Developer Roll7 brought us hits like NOT A HERO  and Laser League: World Arena, the latter of which was quite popular and  well-received  for its time. 

If there’s one thing one can glean from OlliOlli World  from a distance, it’s that this is one vibrant, pretty game. Take a look at the recent gameplay overview trailer below to see what I mean.

OlliOlli World  is coming out on Feb. 8 for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam for $29.99.

‘Far Cry 6’ accidentally adds Danny Trejo, then immediately removes him

You can’t just take Machete away like that!

Someone over at Ubisoft pushed out a Far Cry 6 update with Danny Trejo in it, only to patch him out right away.

The actor will star in a small DLC mission for Far Cry 6 called Dani & Danny vs. Everybody, which was is part of the game’s post-launch content. The mission wasn’t supposed to release for a while, but a patch released on Wednesday included it by mistake. Oops. 

“The Dani & Danny vs. Everybody mission is a work-in-progress and was accidentally released early,” Ubisoft said on Twitter. “We’re working to remove it and look forward to when players can check out the final version.”

Ubisoft went on to apologize to fans. Which they should, because plopping Danny Trejo into a game only to immediately snatch him away is downright cruel. 

Despite the short window of opportunity, some fans managed to get in some quality time with Trejo. Good for them!

Far Cry 6  came out last month, and we found it to be pretty solid, if not a little long in the tooth. Though if you’re looking for a first-person shooter that’ll eat up plenty of hours, it’ll do the trick. You’ll even get to hang out with Giancarlo Esposito, and Ubisoft likely won’t remove him. Better not, anyway.
