When Universal Studios releases the Wanted: Weapons of Fate ($39) videogame on March 24, in-the-know consumers will refer back to the film’s DVD or Blu-ray Disc for extended gameplay.

Secret Video Game Codes Hidden On DVD And Blu-ray Disc

The DVD for Wanted, starring James McAvoy and Angelina Jolie, features 10 secret codes, hidden among the menu screen and bonus features, that unlock new portions of the game. The codes, eight of which reside within both the DVD and Blu-ray editions, with two additional ones solely in the Blu-ray version, open up a new character, access enhanced weaponry and exclusive game modes, among other options.

Special Wanted Movie Featurette Hidden In “Wanted: Weapons of Fate” Video Game

The crossover goes both ways. Additionally, the game hooks back into the DVD/Blu-ray Wanted. When an embedded code in the game is entered into the movie disc’s menu screen, a special featurette starring Wanted lead James McAvoy will be revealed.

Video Game Release Delays Crossover Promotion Efforts

Universal did not aggressively promote this game-movie cross-over when Wanted was released on DVD and Blu-ray last year because the game, initially planned to release at the same time as the DVD, was delayed until March.

Universal’s DVD unit didn’t comment about the timing issues with the Wanted products. However, the studio still sees the titles as a break-through in cross-platform collaboration.

“Universal saw an exclusive opportunity to creatively intensify Wanted fans’ entertainment experience by crafting a program that essentially is designed to drive film and game enthusiasts from the Blu-ray and DVD releases to the game and back,” said Hilary Hoffman, the studio’s senior VP of brand and digital marketing. “By bridging these two platforms, we effectively extend the marketing window for the film’s DVD and Blu-ray releases, substantially enhance gameplay and enable fans to unlock even more bonus content for one of their favorite films.”
