    22feet Tribal Worldwide has unveiled a new campaign for Battlegrounds Mobile India (BGMI), Krafton India’s battle royal game, titled ‘Wear Your Cred’.

     

    Said Srinjoy Das, Associate Director of Marketing, Krafton India: “At this point, the Royale Pass in BGMI has become a massive sub-brand if you look at the sheer volume of YouTube and Instagram content around it. So with the third iteration, the RPA3, we felt it was imperative to showcase the class and awe it generates when you don a RPA final out-fit in game. You see someone in the lobby wearing the final RPA3 outfit and you can instantly recognize that they have crossed all 100 levels. It’s a mark of respect, of awe, and above all, a recognition that it’s no longer cool to be default. We hope our fans love this amazing film as much as we loved making it.”

     

    Added Rahul Mathew, Chief Creative Officer, DDB Mudra Group: “BGMI isn’t just a game, it’s a community.  And to announce this edition of the Royale Pass, we wanted to add some serious flex to it.
