Exclusive three-year deal will bring blended in-game ads to a highly anticipated upcoming Saber game

Saber Interactive, the global game publisher and developer, best known for World War Z, NBA Playgrounds and Snowrunner, and Anzu, the world’s most advanced in-game advertising company, today announced they have signed an exclusive partnership deal for an upcoming unannounced Saber title. The partnership will see the two companies collaborate to bring blended in-game ad placements to a highly anticipated AAA title, set to launch on PC and console later this year.

The move will mean Anzu’s placements will be implemented within the game from day one, giving advertisers an incredible opportunity to reach players at launch via ads that are built into 3D objects that sit within the game’s environment.

“We’re excited to be working with Anzu to incorporate their in-game ad formats into our upcoming game,” said Todd Hollenshead, Head of Publishing at Saber Interactive. “We are working closely to ensure the ad placements are only implemented into the gameplay where it feels natural, adds value, and does not detract from the user experience in any way. We’re looking forward to sharing more about the game, and this collaboration, soon”.

Anzu’s SDK ensures high-quality direct traffic, complete control of ad placements, and precise audience targeting based on first-party data. The company’s blended in-game ads, which sit in the background of games mimicking placements you’d expect to find in the real world, are already being used by many of the world’s leading games companies, including Ubisoft. As part of its commitment to providing the best user experience possible, Anzu ensures its ad placements are not entirely dependent on an internet connection or ad servers. The platform displays a fallback image if the connection drops to ensure the user experience remains intact.

Anzu supports dynamic advertising on mobile, PC, console, and Roblox. It is the only in-game advertising company to secure an ISO 27001 certificate and is the sole licensed in-game advertising provider for Xbox. This had led Anzu to work with some of the globe’s biggest advertisers, including Vodafone, Samsung, PepsiCo, McDonald’s, and American Eagle.

Alex Yerukhimovich, VP Games, Anzu, said: “We’re thrilled to partner with Saber Interactive. Over the years, they’ve released some extremely impressive & successful AAA games, so it’s great to be working with a team that has such a wealth of expertise and knowledge. We’re excited to collaborate with them on their promising upcoming project!”

PG Soft, a world-class digital mobile games company, has hatched its Rio-inspired title Chicky Run.

Set on the streets of Rio de Janeiro with the Christ the Redeemer statue looming on the horizon, Chicky Run promises players a unique gaming experience. As the game loads, players place their bet for the chick to charge down the street to avoid being squashed by cars. Each time the chick successfully dodges a car it will be joined by another furry friend until the multiplier reaches its maximum. The size of the multiplier depends on the number of successful rounds in a row.

Before running through Rio, players must choose to begin on the left hand side or the right hand side, there is also the choice to use the Random button. This is repeated for each new chick dash. After avoiding a car there is also the option to press the collect button and cash out with your returns rather than run the risk of being hit.

Players can also enjoy Chicky Run with the Extra Coins Chance feature activated. Here any winning round has a chance of awarding between one and three coins worth half of the bet amount (before the increased 50% cost).

The graphic directly below the multiplier metre indicates the directions where no vehicles appeared over the previous 10 rounds.

PG Soft’s spokesperson commented: “Chicky Run is pure joy to play, and where better place to run for riches than the fabulous Rio de Janeiro. Our designers and product team have done a wonderful job and now we finally know why the chicken crossed the road!”
