Description

Reality is never as frightening as when it goes beyond fiction. Our idea was to transpose the Far Cry 5 universe into reality with a fully live action trailer launch. In the real world, the whole universe of the game takes another dimension: the small town of Hope County is no longer so peaceful, the madness of the faithful has no limit and the Prophet Joseph becomes even more terrifying. Besides, he also wrote his Bible ... "The book of Joseph"

Execution

Through an integrated campaign we brought the world of Hope County and the terrifying character of Joseph to life.
