Sony Interactive Entertainment has debuted its latest spot devoted to PlayStation’s game streaming service, PlayStation Now. The piece is part of a global campaign conveying that with only a few button pushes, hundreds of stories, characters, and worlds can be instantly delivered directly to game players’ homes.
To capture this feeling of instant gratification agency adam&eveDDB created this work showing iconic game characters sampling the 800+ games available through PlayStation Now. Directed by Mischa Rozema of Nexus Studios, the film begins with the call to action: showtime! Rapidly diving through the sky we see a cavalcade of gaming heroes, including Kratos, Scorpion, and Nathan Drake, crashing into the homes of players. At the climax of the film we realize that the characters have been summoned through PlayStation’s cloud game streaming service, PlayStation Now, and are ready to stand up, side-by-side with the PlayStation player and take on the challenges that lie ahead.
