In an interview with Fast Company, Matt McMahon, VP of mobile for Fox Digital Entertainment, said they are trying to “push the envelope” with this new app:
“With these applications, we’re looking to drive new business, and create an ongoing engagement platform for fans—not just by putting promotional brands in the game, but integrating storylines from the franchise,”
He goes on to say something from an episode will be put into the game on a Wednesday before new episodes air on Sundays, allowing viewers to interact with a pre-release before it goes to air. The new TV episode will promote itself back into the game, allowing users to continue the storyline from there. The plan is to tie in at least two episodes a month into the game.
There’s more to this integration though, as it will possibly include advertisers in the future. However, the team says they won’t force it onto users but rather try to do it organically.
