God of war
We were proud to provide the global media kit for the game's launch. The kit was bespoke and drew on the powerful new storyline of Norse mythology. We also created two Special Editions for the team at the Santa Monica studio, with the kit coming in a wooden box. The box was hand stained and laser engraved with Nordic insignia and the release date.
Congrats to the team over at Santa Monica for winning Studio of the Year too!
