As New York City finds itself enveloped in an eerie yellow smog, reminiscent of a hellish landscape, the marketing team behind Diablo IV wasted no time seizing the opportunity.
“Welcome to Hell, New York”, Diablo IV’s Audacious Marketing Move
In a bold marketing move, the message “Welcome to Hell, New York” illuminates the city, capturing attention and raising curiosity. Diablo IV, the latest installment in the acclaimed role-playing series, immerses players in a battle against the forces of hell, making this marketing strategy a perfect fit.
In a seemingly devilish coincidence, or perhaps a cleverly planned move, they rolled out an ad tailored specifically for the city’s sweltering denizens. The convergence of real-life atmospheric conditions and a timely marketing campaign created a buzz that intrigued both fans and onlookers alike.
With its recent release on PS5, the game has received exceptional reviews, further adding to its appeal. However, prior to its launch, Diablo IV stirred controversy with the Xbox logo issue.
The Viral Phenomenon
The billboard in Times Square, New York boldly proclaimed, “Welcome to hell, New York.” As the poster caught people’s attention, social media platforms were flooded with user comments about this intriguing advertisement.
I would like to clarify that Blizzard has no affiliation or partnership with the wildfires in Canada. In fact we are firmly against wildfires and condemn them in the strongest terms. https://t.co/xf3zHRInks
