Xbox Ad Drives 10 Million Views for New Game

By Karen Fratti 

Activision scored big this week with a pair of ads promoting the latest expansion of the popular Xbox One videogame “Destiny: The Taken King.” Ranking first with over 10 million online views and 44,000 social actions was “Evil’s Most Wanted,” featuring the Led Zeppelin classic “Black Dog” and helmed by “Tron: Legacy” director Joseph Kosinski.

In third was another ad for the same game, “Launch Gameplay,” which also featured the Led Zeppelin song, generating over 2.3 million online views and 14,000 social actions. Only the Johnny Depp head-scratcher “The New Fragrance” hawking the new Dior Sauvage cologne managed to break up the pair, generating over 6.7 million online views and 40,000 social actions.

Meanwhile, the “Legacy” ad for the new Forza Motorsport 6 game took the fifth place spot, while the NFL on Xbox ad “Professor of Game Day Evolution” continued its streak for the third straight week in eighth.
