Confirmed: Capcom behind “No Hope Left” viral campaign

19 January 2012

It’s official – the “No Hope Left” viral campaign that’s been copy-pasted all over the internet belongs to Capcom. That’s according to the people over at TheSixthAxis, who sent an operative in a hazmat suit and body armour to London’s Vauxhall tube station to investigate a poster there.

Turned out the “graffiti” wasn’t graffiti, it’s actually printed on the ad, and the billboard itself was credited to a firm called PrimeSight. A phone call to the company confirmed that Capcom had placed the ad.

Unsurprisingly, Capcom is refusing to “comment on any rumours or speculation”, but the timer’s up on nohopeleft.com today anyway, so whatever it is, everybody’s going to know in a couple of hours. Unless by some mad coincidence, there’s a real zombie holocaust bioweapons outbreak resembling a zombie holocaust but not a proper zombie holocaust this afternoon, and the world is plunged into chaos.

I guess then we’d never know.
