PSO2: New Genesis × ZUTOMAYO

Creative Director · Japan / Global

A culture-led music collaboration that pulled new players into an online RPG emotionally, not mechanically. New sign-ups +~30%.

Problem

PSO2: NGS needed momentum beyond core RPG fans, and feature-led game marketing wasn't reaching culturally adjacent audiences.

Solution

A full collaboration with ZUTOMAYO: music, visuals, and in-game elements fused into one shared worldview across film, social, and live game experiences, native to both the artist and the game universe.

Results

Millions of participants globally and roughly +30% new sign-ups; the game repositioned as a culturally fluent platform, not just an RPG.

01: Anthem film

02: TikTok campaign

The collaboration living platform-natively.
