This PlayStation spot follows a lone protagonist through a series of fantastical worlds on a journey from ordinary gamer to full-blown action hero. Directed by Matthijs van Heijningen of MJZ for BBH NY, “Journey Ahead” combines CG from The Mill with live action, depicting immersive, unforgettable experiences for gamers, advanced by a classical sounding poem which invites viewers to discover the greatness that awaits in the PlayStation universe.

Highlighted were games such as Days Gone, Marvel’s Spider-Man and Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. The spot was lensed in Cape Town, South Africa.
