Influencer Marketing Campaign Boosts Asterigos Launch Success

About the Game

Asterigos: Curse of the Stars is an immersive third-person action RPG that draws inspiration from the rich mythologies of ancient Greece and Rome. In the game, players take the role of the protagonist Hilda, a courageous warrior from the Northwind Legion, on a quest to rescue her father from the cursed city of Aphes. Players explore the city to uncover secrets while battling unorthodox enemies. Every decision they make shapes the fate of the entire kingdom.

An arsenal of enchanted weapons, a dynamic combat system, and a Souls-like approach to exploration give players a unique RPG experience while playing Asterigos: Curse of the Stars. With over 100 collectibles and numerous side quests, they can build their own legacy in the New Game+ mode.

Campaign Strategy

The essential aspect of marketing RPG games is providing players with a rich and immersive experience that keeps them engaged and motivated to continue playing. To achieve this, we partnered with a diverse range of YouTube and Twitch influencers who share a passion for narrative-driven games. By playing the game themselves, influencers were able to share their unique experiences and showcase the various elements that made Asterigos: Curse of the Stars a compelling RPG game. From the vast open-world design, numerous side quests, and collectibles, to the arsenal of enchanted weapons and dynamic combat system, players were able to get a sense of the game's depth and complexity.

To maximize our reach within the RPG gaming community, we specifically targeted influencers who have a strong affinity for games such as Dark Souls, Elden Ring, and FINAL FANTASY XIV Online, which are similar in theme and gameplay to Asterigos. Our influencer partners were carefully selected based on their extensive experience and engagement with these types of games. Their combined subscriber count exceeded 12 million, and they included popular YouTube channels and Twitch streamers with audiences that share a similar interest in RPG games.

To coincide with the release of Asterigos on October 11, we coordinated with our influencer partners to schedule sponsored streams and YouTube video releases on that day. Our goal was to generate buzz and excitement around the game's launch. We wanted the streams and videos to feel authentic, so we encouraged our partners to play the game themselves and provide their genuine reactions and feedback. In addition, we strategically placed branded banners and promotional messages at strategic intervals throughout the streams and videos to ensure maximum exposure. We also had a second promotional push planned for the upcoming weekend (October 15-16) to capture the attention of gamers who prefer playing on weekends.
