This garnered in excess of 2m concurrent views and drove great excitement and anticipation from media and fans alike. The game launched to worldwide critical acclaim, scoring a metacritic score of 78 within the first week of release.

Oculus – Jurassic World Aftermath
Jurassic World Aftermath (Oculus Quest) is a suspenseful, survival adventure game and the first full-length VR game set within Jurassic World. Upon release last year, critics were most excited about stepping onto Isla Nublar, thrilling gameplay and art style. Reviewers felt the game captured the essence of the films, moving from moments of wonder to moments of terror. There was praise for the sound design – how heart-pounding moments were due to clever sound design rather than actually coming face-to-face with a dinosaur. The game has been popular with fans, with a current player rating of 4.5 stars (686 reviews).

Top Golf – Angry Birds Interactive Golf Game
This collaboration was the first time a game brand was combined with golf for a unique interactive experience. Both companies are keen on blending technology and entertainment which enabled the fans to play Angry Birds and destroy digital structures with their golf swings in real life instead of on their phone screens. The game instantly became Topgolf’s second most played game. Even during the pandemic, the game increased Topgolf’s fun rating by 12 % based on satisfaction surveys. The game has been played more than 1 million times since its launch in October 2020.
WristWorld – Hatsune Miku AR Band
Miku has led to a totally new strategy for the company. Using the original four wristbands as the core-game (each band is a level of the game), expansion-bands can now include new licensed characters, so that a Batman band would allow Batman fans to play as that character. Expansion-bands unlock different characters in the game. New properties will now be targeted, and this innovation is a direct result of the Miku license.
