A campaign that awakened China’s gamers and redefined a legacy.

Call of Duty, a globally celebrated franchise, was banned in China for years—until Tencent’s acquisition opened the battlefield. Awaken the Soldier Within called on players to live out their action hero fantasy, because we all have a fighter, hero, and soldier inside us waiting to rise.


Launching at the Tencent Game Convention, the campaign drew over 640K players on day one. With TVC and OOH featuring Chris Evans, it achieved 21 million impressions in a month, becoming a defining moment for gaming in China.
