With just some extra weeks to go earlier than Name of Obligation: Black Ops 6 launches on October 25, Activision’s advertising and marketing machine is ramping up. A brand new marketing campaign started right this moment, September 29, bringing again the character The Replacer, performed by Peter Stormare. For anybody simply catching up, the vanity of the advertisements is that The Replacer is the individual despatched in to interchange the one that took a time without work their job to play Name of Obligation as an alternative.
Stormare’s The Replacer debuted in 2013 and has been a mainstay for Activision’s Black Ops advertising and marketing campaigns over time. The primary in a collection of commercials for Black Ops 6 that includes The Replacer went dwell right this moment throughout Sunday’s NFL sport lineup.
That is simply the primary of many commercials on the way in which, as Activision stated it has put collectively nearly 30 movies that may roll out now till the sport releases. Activision teased that “some notable names” will likely be changed throughout this newest advert marketing campaign, however did not supply another specifics.
The brand new spot is fairly absurd, as The Replacer subs in for a firefighter saving a cat from a tree, a rideshare driver, and even a father at household dinner (together with a spicy dialog with the mother). Even the Pope performs Name of Obligation, it appears, as The Replacer takes over his job as properly for a day.
Black Ops 6 launches on October 25, and in contrast to previous years, there isn’t a early entry to the marketing campaign. In one other large change, Black Ops 6 will likely be obtainable on Recreation Move at launch, however just for the most costly tiers of the service.
