Famous faces sell products. That’s a well-established fact and a marketing strategy. Every industry has taken advantage of this strategy; the game industry is no exception.
Sometimes, these partnerships between celebrities and video games are merely business, but the interesting part is that sometimes, some celebrities take a role in the marketing of the games that they play and love.
Snoop Dogg’s affiliation with the Call of Duty franchise is a very good example of this. As an avid player of the series, the famous rapper didn’t star in the commercials of the game but became a character in it.
Call of Duty is no stranger to collaborating with celebrities since it frequently makes trailers featuring them, even in numbers sometimes. A fan favorite is the “There’s a Soldier in All of Us” series of trailers. Actually, the Call of Duty series has so much marketing material featuring celebrities that it deserves its own list.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a celebrity that is no stranger to video game commercials. Mobile Strike ads featuring him created a stir back at the time and he also stars in World of Tanks commercials along with Milla Jovovich. Vinnie Jones is another celebrity in World of Tanks commercials. Five minutes long, these commercials can even be considered short movies rather than commercials. Anyway, let’s take a look at our pick of video game commercials that feature celebrities.
