In addition to celebrating, PUBG's fourth anniversary is also designed to win over European Gen Z players. Partnering with Pico Art International, the campaign transcended typical in-game festivities and embraced the vibrant Gen Z gaming culture ecosystem.
Pico Art's insightful analysis revealed a crucial understanding: for Gen Z, gaming extends beyond simply playing for enjoyment. It serves as a social platform, fostering connections, learning opportunities, and self-expression through the game itself. This became the campaign's guiding principle, transforming PUBGM into an interactive playground for Gen Z to compete, connect, and showcase their individuality.
The campaign transported players to a thrilling "4th Dimension" experience. An AR treasure hunt, fueled by smartphone location technology, sent them on a whirlwind adventure across Europe, hunting for "airdrop" crates familiar with the game. Each discovery unlocked exclusive in-game rewards, triggered downloads for new players, and fueled friendly competition with leaderboards and influencer challenges.
The PUBGM campaign prioritized fostering a deeper connection with the community, beyond simply aiming to increase downloads and interactions. By implementing AR hunting, the campaign successfully united players, fostering a sense of camaraderie and shared excitement during a period of social distancing.
