A lot of players think that Animal Crossing: New Horizons is now good for nothing. They believe the developers are not focusing on New Horizons’ current state and don’t take action on users’ complaints. However, it looks like 20th Century Studios has a different opinion than those players.

20th Century Studios will soon release a new video game movie, Free Guy. The movie is all about an NPC, Ryan Reynolds, who suddenly discovers the truth that they all are living inside a video game world. After constant disputes among other NPCs, he decides to write himself in as the hero. Here’s how 20th Century Studios decided to advertise their movie.
