With only a few extra weeks to go earlier than Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 launches on October 25, Activision’s advertising and marketing machine is ramping up. A brand new marketing campaign started immediately, 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 particular person despatched in to switch the one that took a day without work their job to play Name of Responsibility 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 sequence of commercials for Black Ops 6 that includes The Replacer went dwell immediately throughout Sunday’s NFL recreation lineup.
That is simply the primary of many commercials on the best way, as Activision stated it has put collectively nearly 30 movies that can roll out now till the sport releases. Activision teased that “some notable names” might be changed throughout this newest advert marketing campaign, however did not provide 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 Responsibility, it appears, as The Replacer takes over his job as nicely for a day.
Black Ops 6 launches on October 25, and in contrast to previous years, there’s no early access to the campaign. In one other huge change, Black Ops 6 might be out there on Sport Go at launch, however just for the most expensive tiers of the service.
