- First dynamic in-game agreement for NAMCO BANDAI Games America opens advertising opportunities in upcoming titles
Double Fusion today announced that NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. selected the company as its first in-game advertising partner to provide dynamic in-game ads for the PLAYSTATION(R)3 computer entertainment system version of Dead to Rights(R): Retribution. Slated for a 2010 release, the game will also be released for the Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft. To incorporate the dynamic ads into Dead to Rights: Retribution, Double Fusion worked closely with the game’s developer, Volatile Games. Volatile Games integrated Double Fusion’s dynamic ad serving technology into its proprietary game engine — BlitzTech — allowing for seamless advertising integration with no gameplay impact.
With dynamic in-game advertising, marketers have the ability to reach gamers during their gameplay experience, ensuring greater engagement. In-game advertising also offers the added benefit of targeting by demographic, territory and time of day, among other metrics, and are all supported by a robust tracking system. For gamers, Double Fusion worked directly with NAMCO BANDAI Games America and Volatile Games to ensure that ad placements are not intrusive to the game play.
“Just as Double Fusion is constantly pushing the boundaries of what is possible with in-game advertising, Dead to Rights(R): Retribution will undoubtedly raise the bar for action titles,” said Jonathan Epstein, CEO of Double Fusion. “When a successful game publisher like NAMCO BANDAI Games America embraces in-game advertising, it’s a nod to the industry that the opportunities are great for all parties — publishers, developers, advertisers and gamers alike.”
A visually stunning third-person action game, Dead to Rights: Retribution allows players to seamlessly integrate different combat styles as they follow the game’s main characters — vice-cop Jack Slate and his canine companion Shadow — as they fight for justice in the crumbling metropolis of Grant City. Double Fusion is delivering dynamic billboard ads, which provide opportunities for brands to reach the game’s 17 and older demographic.
