The developer of Agents of Mayhem, the silly, dumb shooter with a lot of flair, has opted for an interesting advertising technique: it leaked a sex tape of several characters on to porn streaming site, YouPorn. The video is technically safe for work, though it's hardly child-friendly, dealing with a few different adult themes. Watch the cartoonish video below at your own discretion.
Featuring such stars as Rod ‘Hollywood’ Stone, Gregory Prickington, Ivana Bangya, and Marcus Thunderpump -- porn pseudonyms if ever we heard them, the tape features a supposed arrest of Miss Bangya, culminating in our protagonist being discovered, handcuffed and then approached by a male colleague by the end of the video in a rather suggestive manner.
It's all very tongue in cheek and silly and although some consider it in poor taste, the over the top game it's advertising, Agents of Mayhem, is the kind of title you could expect such off the wall advertising for. It's in universe and in-character for much of the heroes you'll play as, so it seems pretty harmless.
Besides, YouPorn has continued to market itself as a mainstream brand. Popularising games is just one other avenue it could go down, especially when it makes sense for the characters.
What do you think of YouPorn being used as an outlet for game adverts with a more risque nature?
Agents of Mayhem is set to launch on PC, Xbox One and PS4 on August 15.
