Mutiny Channels 90s Nostalgia in new Campaign for Microsoft's Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2

Mutiny Trailer Park Group 's dedicated videogame branding and advertising agency, has developed and crafted an inventive rollout for Xbox's family of Elite controllers . Central to the creative is the 45-second commercial spot entitled "XboxEliteCereal:Feedwhatmakesyou Elite" featuring gaming influencers Chica, Loserfruit and Myth.

Playing on this notion led the creative team to the idea of the coveted athlete-adorned cereal box and the jaunty, jingle-driven breakfast cereal commercials of the '80s and '90s. In addition to the commercial spot and jingle, Mutiny designed and fabricated Xbox Elite-themed cereal boxes, each one featuring the face of a gaming influencer, complete with games on the back panel and a custom Elite controller inside.

"This campaign gets to the core of what the Elite Series 2 product family represents exceptional performance, customization, and durability to play like a pro. There's an Elite controller for every passionate gamer. No matter what games you like to play, the controller provides you with the best experience for your gaming style," said Courtney Luk , Integrated Marketing Manager, Xbox

Xbox is no longer speaking only to hardcore players, whether you're playing Minecraft on the weekend or taking on demons in Diablo IV, the Elite Series 2 controller is the best option for console gamers everywhere.

Mutiny's Executive Creative Director Noah Eichen directed the hero spot and co-wrote the commercial's jingle, which rolled out in the hero spot alongside the influencer content from Myth , Chica and LoserFruit on TikTok, behind-the-scenes and beyond. RuthAnne Berry , Account Director at Mutiny, led and coordinated the project execution. The entire creative effort was a huge integrated lift in-house at Mutiny and across Trailer Park Group and partner companies.

Claire Zimmerman , Associate Creative Director at Mutiny, and her team also created custom key art and motion assets that are CG renders of the controllers that thematically fit into the campaign.

"It was an incredibly fun challenge to bring the unique personality of each of the controllers to life through our visual design and campaign. We wanted to capture the essence of what makes each controller unique, while still maintaining a cohesive brand identity. Which aligned perfectly with the metaphor of cereal flavors," added Claire Zimmerman , Associate Creative Director, Mutiny.

GameStop Frenzy Cools, E*Trade Considers Roaring Kitty Ban

GameStop (NYSE:GME) continues to cool following a trading frenzy that drove shares up by 75 percent between the close of trading last Friday (May 31) and the start of trading on Monday (June 3).

The brief rally, which took GameStop shares to US$40.09 on Monday morning, was sparked by a Reddit (NYSE:RDDT) post made late Sunday (June 2) by an account tied to the video game retailer's most prominent supporter, Keith Gill.

Gill, who ignited the meme stock craze in 2021 and is known as Roaring Kitty on other platforms, posted a screenshot on Reddit's Superstonk subreddit that shows a purported US$175 million position in GameStop shares and call options.

Top Trends Shaping the Canadian iGaming Market

From emerging technologies to evolving regulations, the trajectory of iGaming has changed substantially in recent years as the market has experienced significant growth.

In 2022, Ontario's provincial government introduced game-changing legislation that established a regulatory framework for iGaming. Due to this legislation, regulated iGaming successfully displaced the unregulated market, according to Attorney General Doug Downey, creating over 1.6 million active player accounts across more than 70 operator websites as of April 2023 — just over one year following the change.

Ontario's regulation has also laid the groundwork for widespread change in the iGaming space across Canada. As iGaming continues to evolve, it's important to have a deeper understanding of both new and existing trends that will shape the industry's future, as well as regulations.
