⚔️Bleach Rebirth of Souls comes out later this month, so has its press and social campaign ramped up during January & February, or are Bandai Namco leaving it late? Last week we looked at another fighter, Fatal Fury City of the Wolves, releasing a month after Bleach Rebirth of Souls, which actually tracked higher with regards press coverage. It ranked 28th for total articles for those first 2 months of the year, whereas Bleach Rebirth of Souls was 2 lower at 30th. We'll be following with interest how the coverage amount and audience hit rate change for these 2 titles throughout March. ▶️ Over on video social platforms, there are still lots of influencers out there that almost exclusively play fighting games but are yet to cover Bleach Rebirth of Souls, so there remains plenty of opportunity to have for greater exposure and extending reach in the run up to launch! Follow us to follow the trend 👉 https://shorturl.at/krEN4 #VideoGames #Data #VideoGamesIndustry

🥊 There were a few big releases to contend with in January and February but Fatal Fury: City of the Wolves still saw some good traction across press and social channels. There were definitely missed opportunities, media and influencers to target in the final push to launch next month in order to fully maximise reach, but the campaign has good momentum already and will continue to build over the coming weeks. There's plenty of nostalgia surrounding this title, it’s been 26 years since the last Fatal Fury game, Garou: Mark of the Wolves and City of the Wolves picks up right where that one left off. We're excited to see a new entry in this series after so long, who's with us? #VideoGames #Data #SocialMedia #VideoGamesIndustry
