Beats By Dre x EA SPORTS FC 24 | The Viking

This was a truly ambitious collaboration to re-create Beats by Dre's live action trailer 'The King & The Viking' with an FC edge entirely using in-engine cinematic gameplay featuring our FC 24 cover star Erling Haaland.

Whilst working in parallel with the Beats team and their own production, we were able to take inspiration from their creative to then mould the narrative into the FC environment. This meant building custom scenes, wardrobe, headphones and many more bespoke elements all with the north star of seamlessly connecting this real world moment to in-game.

Given the pioneering nature of the idea and the accelerated production timelines, I am incredibly proud of all our cross functional teams for their ability to create such a quality trailer and suite of supporting assets to launch this powerhouse global brand partnership
