ABOUT THE GAME
Corepunk isn’t just another MMORPG: it’s a living world where the fog hides secrets, every exploration is tense, and every PvP encounter can change the course of the game. From deep hero customization to the unique blend of PvE and PvP, Corepunk rewards players who dare to explore, plan, and cooperate, offering an experience that is as strategic as it is thrilling.
CAMPAIGN APPROACH
Launching a new MMO is a rare opportunity that requires both breadth (to bring in fresh audiences) and depth (to activate established MMO influencers trusted by long-time fans). Our strategy combined:
Paid Campaign: Activating creators across Twitch, YouTube, and TikTok.
Streamer Challenge Activation: Custom Twitch assets incentivizing viewers with Twitch subs & game keys.
Organic Campaign: Outreach to 300 creators across different sizes and genres, providing keys for both personal gameplay and community giveaways.
