It’s official – the “No Hope Left” viral campaign that’s been copy-pasted all over the internet belongs to Capcom<\/a>. 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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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<\/del> bioweapons outbreak resembling a zombie holocaust but not a proper zombie holocaust this afternoon, and the world is plunged into chaos.<\/p>\n

I guess then we’d never know.<\/p>\n
