Background
Starlink Battle for Atlas - the new Ubisoft game - is an open-world space adventure, in which gamers can play in a unique way: each battleship can be controlled via a realistic « modular toy reproduction ».
With this new game mode bridging virtual & real world, imagination and creativity have the driving seat as gamers are able to switch weapons, battleships or pilots right from the controller, impacting in real time their game avatar.
The brief: make sure this breakthrough innovation enabling a unique gaming experience, will not overshadow the epicness of the game’s space adventure.
The challenge: reminding all gamers that nothing is more inspiring than the space immensity.
Describe the strategy
To launch this game we choose a 100% Digital approach leveraging everyone’s desire to explore space: the kids and their parents as well.
The only way to reach this double audience was to give them the same level of entertainment and excitement a family space movie could give them: that’s why we created a short movie (lasting more than 2 minutes) in order to offer them a compelling story with enough tension.
A Digital film was the most relevant approach as it was our only opportunity to reach young players and their parents with the same content, something a TVC or any Print campaign would never have achieved.
Describe the execution
On every video platform, we took the audience on a cinematic journey inspired from the great science fiction films, where storytelling is king.
In the digital film “The Wish”, worlds meet, reality merges with imagination and players find themselves facing their own interpretation of the story, calling on the film’s promise:
“Give your imagination some space”.
This film was used in more than 20 countries worldwide and translated in 10 languages.
List the results
This Digital launch, that was meant to reach the young players and their parents as well, succeed in making them considering playing this game.
The sales forecast of the game on most device are very positive despite the fact that the big sales of the holiday season haven’t started yet.
This campaign also had a very good level of completion on YouTube and a good engagement rate on Facebook, which is a true performance for a “more than 2 minutes” format.
