How to Achieve Team Alignment for Successful Product-Led Content Marketing

Sales is a fast-paced world where innovation never rests. In this dynamic landscape, traditional sales techniques are getting a makeover. Enter the game-changer: interactive product demos. This exciting field of sales technology has been making waves, transforming the way businesses engage with customers and supercharging their sales efforts. Gone are the days of boring presentations and dull brochures. Interactive product demos are stealing the spotlight, empowering sales teams to create captivating, personalized, and unforgettable experiences for potential customers. By leveraging cutting-edge technology, these demos allow customers to dive in, explore, and truly experience the value of products in real time. So, what's the big deal with interactivity? Well, it bridges the gap between abstract concepts and real understanding. Unlike traditional demos, interactive product demos let customers roll up their sleeves and actively engage with the features that matter to them. Whether it's software or physical products, this game-changing approach allows potential customers to navigate, play around, and see how a product can solve their unique needs and pain points. Customization is the name of the game when it comes to interactive product demos. Sales teams can tailor the experience to suit each prospect's preferences, goals, and concerns. By addressing specific pain points and showcasing the most relevant aspects of the product, sales professionals can build stronger connections and boost their chances of winning over potential customers. So who are the main players in this emerging field and how do they stack up against each other? We’ll go through them all here, including Walnut, Reprise, Demostack, Navattic, Storylane, and Consensus. Walnut is an interactive, full-funnel demo platform that is likely one of the first to market. It seems to place emphasis on sales and marketing teams. The platform offers a robust set of features, often publishes amusing videos on social media to tell their story and vision, and has garnered significant attention from audiences on LinkedIn. Online testimonials for Walnut often discuss the platform's quick onboarding process and ease of use, particularly when capturing different customer dashboards. Walnut The good: Your GTM team can use it regardless of company size. Your marketing team can use it to drive better leads with embedded product tours on their site that act exactly like the product, and your presales team can quickly spin up tailor-made demos that showcase the relevant features for each prospect. Sales teams can quickly share or deliver demos that keep prospects engaged, and customer success can build interactive tutorials to improve product adoption. Plus, because it directly impacts sales, you’ll quickly see your ROI. : The price is slightly higher than some of the solutions on this list, while they seemingly spend a lot of their resources on marketing campaigns. The bad : The vision With its #WeAreProspects campaign, Walnut positioned itself as the solution to fix the current frustrating SaaS sales process. And it delivers on that promise by letting revenue teams give prospects exactly what they want when they want it. Reprise Another one of the first interactive demo software on the market, came out strong but has struggled with keeping things scalable and user-friendly. The product is mostly split between the ability to showcase the product as an embed and its ability to capture your product for live demos. While its use case can be for companies of all sizes, the pricing mostly lends itself to larger enterprise companies, with the tagline on the website saying it’s for “enterprise sales and marketing teams”. Reprise The good: Reprise offers a good interactive demo for top-of-funnel use and provides users with a lot of control over their guides. For sales demos, with a small amount of R&D help, the final results can be great. The bad: Users have complained a lot about the complicated UX, which makes it difficult to actually achieve the results you need without the help of developers. Likewise, with its focus on enterprise business, the product proves to be less valuable for mid-sized companies and startups. The vision: Reprise brands itself as the solution for storytellers, helping sellers tell the story of their product the way they want to. Demostack Whereas Reprise and Walnut can benefit multiple areas of your go-to-market teams, only targets pre-sales engineers—and does a pretty nice job with it. By easily creating a replica of your SaaS product, Demostack allows reps to present demos that act like the real thing. This can help your team save time and resources building demo environments - but heads up - some market testimonials say that they are frequently pivoting their tech mechanism to find one that is operational, thus creating friction with its customers. Demostack The good: Demostack’s solution is a good option if you want to improve your presales. It takes a very short amount of time to create product replicas, which means a very short time to value. The bad: This solution might be the least innovative of the bunch. That’s because product replicas require sales reps to click through the full product to show prospects each feature, which can lead to a frustrating demo for prospects and a lot of unnecessary feature dumping. Likewise, because only your product is being replicated, you’ll struggle to show prospects how your product integrates with other tech. The vision: Demostack brands itself as the solution for presales teams, helping them spin up demo environments quickly for their sales team. Navattic is a good solution for smaller companies looking to embed a fairly basic product tour on their websites. Unlike the first 2 options on the list, Navattic’s solution only focuses on the top-of-funnel but is less helpful for sales teams. While it is less costly than the others, its capabilities are more limited. Navattic The good: Because they are singularly focused, they offer a very solid solution for marketing teams. They offer a cost-efficient tool that integrates nicely with many other software. The bad: The offering is limited in terms of support and resources and can be prone to bugs. Numerous customers have complained about issues with the technology with some clunky features that don’t always work as they should. Likewise, the result is never fully interactive but acts more like a dynamic screenshot than an actual demo of your product. The vision: Navattic aims to be the leader of the top-of-funnel interactive demo solutions and help SaaS companies better market their products. Storylane An even smaller, top-of-funnel-focused team, offers a similar solution to Navattic. Use it to quickly create some simple interactive guided product tours that you can embed on your website and drive better leads. Storylane The good: The product is fairly easy to use and the packages include customer service and support. This leads to a quick time-to-value. The bad: The offerings are limited to marketing and the solution tends to act like a cheaper and more limited version of some of the other interactive demo software. Also, because it’s the smallest company on this list, they offer a smaller support team. The vision: While they mostly support the top-of-funnel now, they aim to scale their product to be useful to the entire go-to-market team. Consensus recently joined the interactive demo space, after trying to help sellers build and manage video demos for over a decade. They are focused on high-lifting enterprise customers, but most of their clients are still using video demos instead of interactive demos. While they may provide a solid interactive demo solution in the future, at the moment, this offering is quite limited. Consensus The good: The platform has been up and running for over a decade, which can be a good sign of stability, performance, and potentially fewer bugs than its competitors. The bad: This is more of an old-school solution for video products than an innovative demo platform. The vision: Consensus seems to be aiming to step away from its original video product and into interactive demos. Final words Incorporating interactive demo solutions throughout your go-to-market efforts is like having a secret weapon in your arsenal. By simplifying the sales process for your prospects, these solutions provide immense value that goes beyond just showcasing your product. Some of them empower your sales team to deliver personalized experiences, bridge the understanding gap, and build strong connections with potential customers. Others empower your marketing teams to provide site visitors with what they want to see to drive better, stronger leads. And some do all of the above. Interactive demos make complex concepts digestible, allowing prospects to visualize the benefits of your offering firsthand. With their ability to adapt to individual needs and pain points, these demos streamline the sales journey, making it smoother and more engaging. So, if you're looking to supercharge your sales efforts and leave a lasting impression on your prospects, dive into the world of interactive demo solutions and unlock the true potential of your go-to-market strategy.

State of Interactive Product Demo Software: The Good, the Bad, and What’s Behind the Brands

The daylight dims, its 3:00 pm, almost afternoon. It feels humid as the moisture in the air has increased. The skin feels all damp and sticky. My little room is getting all hot as I start sweating. It was supposed to be an ordinary afternoon on a summer day. “Lets go outside…” I talked to myself. As I open the door, gusty winds seem to have started to blow away the leaves of the trees. The trees are at unrest, unstable as the air lifts them, just a bit violently than before. “Get the clothes of the ropes, I think there is a lot of rain coming…” — Mommy Shouts. “Yes Mom, but I am a bit scared” — I said “Don’t Worry, its just going to rain a bit heavy than usual, just go get the clothes before they soak wet again. I just washed them” — Mommy said. I watched the sky, the clouds started becoming denser and denser and so has the ground been hotter and hotter. As I dragged the basket, my feet could feel the heat of heat of the surface but I was glad, it was going to at least rain. The wind would be cooler and the ground would finally start on dropping the burn. Bliss - the very first drop of rain that hit my forehead, an utter joy of happiness to finally feel a sigh of cool and it didn’t stop. Drop after drop started and my body was overwhelmed with this cool electric feeling. I wonder if this sudden feeling of contentment which was not expected is what true happiness is. Now the clouds rumbled, forcing everyone to take its attention, rumble by rumble clearing its throat as if it warned those that heard that they are there, so take shelter for what you have, we will pour ourselves as we desire. I hated the clippers as I pulled away the clothes, they won’t just let go of those clothes that easily. Frustrated, I was to quickly get inside, for the clouds scared me as they rumble. What great monsters they are, so big, so high, as no one can reach them and they can reach all. Just as they were not scary enough, I was trying too hard to ignore them, they flashed and I stopped, what followed was a big rumble, as though mountains had collided, stone to stone, crushing anything, even air in between them. The second flash followed, breaking its way from the clouds, tearing down through like a piece of paper, a force so magnificent, that it amazes and scares you both and I wonder if fear at its maximum is what amazement is. It hit the hit the tree, right in front of me, coursing its way through the tree to the ground, and the poor tree, how it trembled and shook involuntarily so quite from fear, an excitement, a weakness, a big quake. It was no more, but broken down into small pieces. I never want to be that as I felt too sorry for it. It burnt but the clouds rumbled loud and claimed for them that very disaster. Instant fear, the eerie feeling that something bad is not just going to happen but it has happened, my legs trembled. I wanted to move, run not just back inside but at least somewhere, I couldn’t move an inch. I shouted, but had no voice coming out. Is this fear?, a feeling too intense that my muscles and vocal box has changed its function, its behaviour, I am certainly not in control of myself. It was as if, I had lost all sense of hearing, for a moment, in all this chaos, there was no sound anymore, neither the wind, nor the trees, nor were the clouds claiming their pride and everything was moving but too quiet. I had never experienced such.a moment, and I thought to myself, is this an illusion or has something really gone wrong with me. A voice creeped aloud from inside my head and all it said was RUN! A Voice My legs returned, I could feel them move, my voice was back, I was able to sound, my hearing was back and so were all the sounds of nature and its chaos. I turned my head quickly saw a dark hole, I called it home, it was the door to my house, never before it seemed so dark yet the only place I now ever wanted to go. My legs twitched but they turned and took the leap. One leap after another, my feet banged the ground and the ground felt hard as a metal and I moved. Was it all my doing, or is this what happens when some basic function in our body takes control of which we can never begin to control. While I was running back to the house, time seemed so slow, I blinked right and then left and saw everything moving so elegantly, majestically, one frame at a time, I could see the flowers in the pots, communicate to their roots, frame by frame, instructing them to move in a flow so slow that it seemed like magic - unexplainable in the physics of my mind. The door was there infant of me, and I was moving through it, and I could see that from within darkness which it seemed emerged light, a halo of the light bulbs inside. I think again, its my fear, making me hallucinate, the finest details of which was never there or perhaps I never began to take notice. Is it always fear, that makes us notice the details in our lives? I was inside finally, and I forgot how to breath, I tried mushing in air through my nostrils, but it never seemed so hard as of now, I hissed as I tried and forced air in my nose, was it something blocking my nose, NO!, but why can’t I breath. The hissing won’t stop, I need to blow out, its called breathing. Now, I was hissing out, I need to stop, I need to blow in. Am I breathing, I repeated again and again, the same process, and I missed out when to blow in and when to blow out. Now it was finally resting, I was slowly returning to my senses, inhale by inhale, exhale by exhale, the hissing was going away, and I could finally start on forgetting how to breath, as it was going to be automated by my body. I do, wonder whether we tend to automate the basics of our body by forgetting them and maybe they become a response to our actions, whether voluntarily or involuntarily. I held my knees with my hand and took a second, to just collect together what had just happened. I was out, a storm struck in, a lightning fell, a tree broke down, I got stunned and now I am back inside. Its a relief that I am back inside. I think, I should go get a glass of water. I went into the kitchen and got some water in the glass, as I drank the first gulp, it was more like stone going down my throat, its just I am still in fear. After finishing the glass, where is mom. Now a new type of rumble started coming to my ears, I could now hear constant increase in a rumble of human voices. It was growing louder and louder, something has just happened outside, and all my neighbours were out of their houses but where is mom. I went in the basement, I went upstairs and I went in my mom, I couldn’t find my mom. The rumble of people started dimming, I should now look outside the window because there is no way, I am going out. As I approached the window right next to the door, where I cam running in, the sun was finally rising and I could see sunlight coming in and the shadow of the windows moving on the floor. It was finally getting brighter inside, and what a sign of relief that the clouds are finally going away. The rumble of the people was also dimming and I knew it, peace has finally returned to me. I quickly opened the door to see it and feel it. The knob seemed hotter than usual, but its a summer hot day, it turned and slipped but then firmly holding the knob on the door, it turned and the door clicked open. What I saw to my amaze, was not the view that I had pictured, it wasn’t the sun, nor was it the clouds. A bubble of heat, it seemed to burst on my face, no one there but what about the rumble of the people, where is that crowd, wasn’t it there, no it was not, the lightning that fell and broke the tree, had created a fire. It wasn’t just a fire, but it was everywhere, the trees on the left, the trees on the right but where is the entrance to our small section of houses, it was always right in front of our door. The entrance was there but all distorted, it seemed like I was altogether in a new place which I did not recognise. I told 2 steps back and saw the very picture outside, bend to the left and then to the right, it was the heat, bending my sight. Far way on the path to my house, was a crowd, my people, my neighbours, so far away and just there was my mother in between shining the beauty she was, my mother. I wonder how distantly can a mother shine so bright, though I have never noticed her like this before. This is section of houses, this place is on fire, that was for sure. I took all my might and speeded forward towards the path. The crowd magnified a bit, but as I ran faster and faster they didn’t seem to get closer, farther did they seem, getting away from me. Don’t Leave Me! Don’t Leave Me! Don’t Leave Me! — I cried Just as I thought, that I am getting closer to them, another cloud rumbled and roared, the black clouds had hid the sun, and it was dark. The rumble was loud, louder than before, because it the sound vibrated in my body this time, and my heart was no more, because the rumble was all that was there, my heart beaten no more. I think I was running, but where I am, it felt like my bed, so soft, so cozy. I think I had just awoken from a bad dream. No it wasn’t a dream, the rumble before dropped a lightning on a tree which was next to the path outside that section of houses. I was going to run through it, but the tree splintered and the impact threw me away. My arms were in a little pain, my body trembling, those little pieces of wood had just pierced the top of my skin. There were about 10-12 pieces. I moved my arm and they moved with it. I plucked on out and it pinched a bit, but I was glad there wasn’t cut open. Wherever I plucked, it did leave a red spot, a spot of red ink, we know as blood. It just stayed there, the red ink, didn’t become a bubble and poured like rain drops. The tree had blocked my way, was there no way out, no there was not. It was on fire. The only think seemed fit was to go back to my house, through that dark hole from within which emerges light. My house doors shut, windows shut, I sat on the floor, just trying to figure out, what would be happening the next moment. I could see my hands, fingers entangled together and the red dots on my arms, they seemed fit for a tattoo, I guess. Mommy, I really need you, I am scared, I don’t know what to do, what can I do, are you ok, Mommy!!! — I was talking to myself

HONG KONG, Hong Kong, November 4th, 2024/Chainwire/--Legend of Arcadia(LoA) , a new card-based RPG set in an expansive universe inspired by Kingdom Hearts, is bringing a community-driven operational model to Web3 gaming. With a focus on sustainable growth, LoA aims to establish itself as a leading platform by integrating blockchain technology, unique NFT mechanics, and community-centric features that foster long-term player engagement. As the Web3 gaming industry is forecasted to grow to $305 billion by 2030, LoA stands out by addressing key sustainability issues that have previously limited the success of Web3 gaming ventures. Many blockchain-based games have struggled with player retention and engagement, often due to unsustainable reward systems. LoA’s approach, built on years of gaming experience from its team’s work with industry leaders like Tencent, Hero Entertainment, and Seasun Studios, centers on creating an inclusive, feedback-driven community. Community-Driven Growth And Operations Legend of Arcadia (LoA), a card-based RPG game built on a vast story universe inspired by Kingdom Hearts, has a strong vision for reimagining live operations in Web3, called community-driven operations. The formula combines building a sticky and vocal community driven by a strong feedback loop and nimble implementation of the ideas. This has helped LoA stand out from others. The team has spent the past two years perfecting the formula based on their decade-long experience in driving high DAU and retention at leading game companies such as Tencent, Hero Entertainment, and Seasun Studios. At the same time, building a 60k+ strong community with users that actively interact with the team and provide them with feedback. The right feedback loop between the community and the developer has led to innovative tactics for driving community engagement. For example, rather than hosting traditional alpha tests, the team mixed the idea of esports and competition and invited people to form their own teams to compete during the test. This led to a brand new Guild called Alter Ego Guild being formed in the community, and they remain some of the game’s biggest supporters, helping new players onboard and get deep into LoA. During its three-month campaign, LoA had 100,000+ registered users with minimal marketing spend. It also has very high next-day and 7-day retention of 75% and 56%, respectively, higher than many traditional games' 50% and 20%. As it moves towards its TGE and official game launch, the community continues to provide feedback and support the team. With backing from 10+ investors, including Animoca Brands and OKX Ventures, LoA can further develop the game's vastness, ensuring the community is constantly engaged with new content and utilities of its native token, $ARCA. This ranges from the endless possibilities of different NFT heroes to the countless actions and ways to earn $ARCA tokens. Innovative NFT Mechanics and Extensive Gameplay In LoA, each NFT hero is unique, with randomized genetic traits such as appearance and abilities drawn from a large gene pool of over five trillion combinations, including over 48 types of basic attributes, 40,000+ skill combinations, and more than 28 million gene combinations. This ensures that no two NFT heroes are the same. The game team, supported by AI, has also created countless words and storylines, shaping different toy characters and enriching the stories of LoA. It also enhances player retention by implementing seasonal demands created by the in-game mechanics, which will eventually boost the trading volume. $ARCA Token Distribution and Roadmap In LoA, players can earn tokens through a variety of activities and strategies involving their NFT heroes. Inspired by a system commonly used in web2 games, by combining White Ores from mining with Black Ores earned in battles, they can produce $ARCA tokens. Heroes can also be customized through special events and features, which not only alter their appearance but can also provide gameplay advantages, such as enhanced mining power when using event-specific skins. Players can also participate in PvE content by clearing dungeons and defeating bosses for valuable loot or diving into PvP battles to compete against others for rewards and climb seasonal leaderboards for even greater gains. To further boost their earnings, players can stake $ARCA tokens, unlocking additional rewards like free NFTs or a share of profits from NFT sales, adding another layer of value to their in-game investments. In addition to earning tokens through in-game monetization, LoA further enhances sustainability by distinguishing between in-game and external economic factors. This structure allows players to monetize external elements, such as staking $ARCA tokens for special privileges and rewards or sharing in proceeds from NFT assets. This approach aims to foster long-term value creation over short-term speculative gains. LoA will have a total supply of 40,000,000 $ARCA tokens that are distributed among seven pools where each pool will be further subdivided into different rank tiers based on the amount of Gacha Points earned. With countless opportunities and activities in the world of LoA, the game constantly rejuvenates the excitement of its community and players, which will ensure its sustainability in the long run. The game also has plans for extensive single-player content (PVE mode) and multiplayer modes where players can form teams and challenge others in real-time battles. Legend of Arcadia is currently set to launch in November 2024. About Legend of Arcadia Legend of Arcadia (LOA) is a card-based RPG game built on a vast story universe inspired by Kingdom Hearts. LOA is built with the latest technology for the modern gamer, powered by blockchain. Players can enjoy the game for free, on the go, on a mobile device, and socialize in real-time with gamers from across the globe through immersive PvP game modes and by trading highly composable NFTs.

Since its release in 2017, Fortnite has become a social media phenomenon. The online game was created by Epic Games and it has always been changing and providing the players with new ways to play and socialize within the Fortnite ecosystem. Two of the most important updates of Fortnite are Fortnite Creative and Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN). These tools have turned Fortnite into more than a game and a stage for self-expression, and possibly monetization. Let’s explore the history of Fortnite Creative and UEFN, and highlight five trends that suggest why they are poised to become the next big creative moneymakers. I sat down with the team at NEIGHBOR -  a unique UGC game-studio based out of Tokyo, Japan that is focused solely on creating unique games and experiences within UEFN. Founded in 2022, the studio has released dozens of games within Fortnite and has quickly expanded to become a true metaverse company. With employees on three different continents, they work together remotely despite language barriers to create memorable games for a global audience. From making cute games with their own original characters to creating immersive brand experiences, NEIGHBOR has tackled it all and has no plans to slow down anytime soon. Disclaimer: Author is currently the Head of Brand for NEIGHBOR. A Brief History of Fortnite Creative and UEFN Fortnite Creative Fortnite Creative was released in December 2018, which is the island generation mode that gives players the flexibility of creating their own games, challenges, and experiences that can be shared with the community. Fortnite Creative introduced a new approach that focused more on capturing content made by players and their creativity. “Fortnite is consistently evolving and expanding its presence in the metaverse and has a proven track record of being able to adapt to industry and consumer changes,” suggests Grace Lind, Head of Business Development for NEIGHBOR. Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN) On March 19, 2023, Epic Games expanded upon Fortnite Creative with the release of Unreal Editor for Fortnite (UEFN), more commonly referred to by the community as Creative 2.0. UEFN combines the utility of Unreal Editor, the game editor created and used by Epic Games, with Fortnite Creative. With this integration, creators are able to build more intricate and visually appealing creations utilizing the tools and capabilities of Unreal Editor within Fortnite. UEFN gives more authority and freedom to creators so that they can work without restrictions and create whatever they desire in high quality. “The innovative aspect of Fortnite is that it allows individuals to develop high-quality online 3D games without incurring significant costs and enables them to generate substantial personal revenue. NEIGHBOR is one of the companies that quickly jumped into this industry. Unlike other creators, NEIGHBOR isn't focused on short-term profits. Instead, they consider Fortnite, with its approximately 100 million users, as a marketing tool for their own IP. Their long-term goal is to create characters like Pokémon and SONIC and build a successful IP business,” offers Notef, CEO at NEIGHBOR. Five Trends to Watch Out For Rise of User-Generated Content (UGC) UGC has always been present in gaming, yet with Fortnite Creative and the outlined UEFN, the possibilities are taken to a whole new level. Players can now build impressive environments, rich storylines, and exciting game mechanics that are very close to what professional game makers can offer. This democratization of game development implies that virtually anyone who has a design idea can create a successful game within Fortnite. The extent to which UGC is feasible is apparent through custom maps, game modes, and experiences that garner millions of followers. With these tools in place, the quality, and variety of UGC remain high, bringing more players and retaining community interest. Monetization Opportunities for Creators Creators are valuable for Epic Games and they created a bunch of ways to monetize it and share the revenue. This means that, by joining the Support-A-Creator program, creators receive real money when players make in-game purchases using their special code. Furthermore, in recent years, Epic has launched the Creator Economy 2.0, which enables creators to receive a percentage of earnings derived from users’ creations. In using UEFN, creators still have more ways on how they can generate revenues since they can now sell premium experiences and features. This shift towards a creator-centric economy is a massive trend that will encourage more people to dedicate time and resources and into producing high-quality content. Integration of Advanced Technologies Using Fortnite Creative, the integration of Unreal Engine offers a great potential for creators. Several new solutions, including realistic ray tracing, realistic physics, and high-fidelity graphics, can be tested in distinctly crafted expansion packs. Such depth has been available to professional game developers only, but now, UEFN makes these tools available to the general public. Therefore, the quality of custom experiences will sky-high since more players will be interested in engaging with a one-of-a-kind game with absolutely fantastic graphics. This trend will not only improve the quality of the player experience but also positively influence the perception of UGC in Fortnite. “I think Fortnite UEFN is a fantastic tool for brands to create games within Fortnite. By using the advanced features and tools within UEFN, it makes it easier to build unique game experiences, with the possibility of including their own brand and IP. Working with NEIGHBOR as their Community Manager has been a very exciting experience! My role is to ensure that the games NEIGHBOR produce are play tested and flawless, before they are published and enjoyed by players on Fortnite. From there, I gather player feedback and handle promotion via hosting events for NEIGHBOR and managing streamers to ensure their games can be enjoyed by everyone,” says Tom Cornish, a Fortnite streamer and Community Manager for NEIGHBOR. Expansion of Esports and Competitive Play Since the beginning, Fortnite has also been deeply associated with the esports scene with large prizes and competitive environment. However, with the addition of Fortnite Creative and UEFN, new opportunities for competitive expansions are on the horizon. It allows creators to build new maps and modes which can be more suitable for competitive play than anything which can be formed by the imagination on the regular basis. Such expansion will facilitate the creation of new esports events based on UGC, thus generating extra revenue for creators as well as attracting the general public to the esports events. The esports trend based on UGC will contribute to a greater level of differentiation and decentralisation in competitiveness. Community Collaboration and Social Interaction The aspect of togetherness is also well captured by Fortnite Creative and UEFN since they unite people within the metaverse. These tools are social, thus, they make players engage in teamwork to accomplish complex goals and, thus, create togetherness. The ability to build structures, play in them and share with friends is an important factor of social interaction in Fortnite and the creative modes develop this aspect. The general tendency towards the development of more elaborate and interactive community events will result in even more captivating scenarios and the further solidarity within the Fortnite community. This social component will help engage players in the game and the creative process around it. UEFN and Fortnite Creative are revolutionizing the gaming industry by giving players the ability to create. These are the opportunities for user-generated content, monetization, technological advancements, esports, and community engagement, which suggest that the potential of these tools is almost limitless. Fortnite is constantly growing and with the added possibilities for creatives as the game progresses, more and more people will join in as creators and players. Epic Games has come up with a platform that not only provides games for entertainment but also comes up with ideas, and thus, Fortnite Creative and UEFN are the next big creative producers of money in the gaming industry.

Deadpool and Wolverine is currently taking the world by storm. It has officially surpassed the $1 billion mark and has dethroned Joker to become the highest-grossing rated R film of all time. Everyone’s talking about it, and the one thing that people are talking about the most is all the cameos. MCU movies, especially now that they’re in their Multiverse phase, are filled with a litany of cameos and easter eggs, and Deadpool and Wolverine is no exception. With so many appearing throughout the film, even the most eagle-eyed MCU fan would find it hard to spot them all out. So, to help you out, here are all the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos in order. Want to share your own thoughts on popular media? Start publishing on HackerNoon today! All the Deadpool and Wolverine Cameos Happy Hogan One of the O.G.s of the MCU, Happy Hogan has been a part of the universe since the very first Iron Man. His character has evolved throughout the years, and in Deadpool and Wolverine, he is seen managing the Avengers. Thor The God of Thunder makes a brief appearance where he’s seen comforting Deadpool on one of the TVA’s monitors. Whether this was just a one-off joke or indicative of a future storyline remains to be seen. Wolverine Variants in Deadpool and Wolverine As Deadpool goes around the multiverse looking for a Wolverine to help him, he comes across several unique-looking ones, including: Patch Wolverine’s spy alter-ego makes a quick cameo during the variants montage. Sporting his iconic white suit, he makes quick work of Deadpool. Old Man Logan We’ve already seen an adaptation of Old Man Logan before (from the Logan film), but now, we get to see a more comic-accurate version of the character. Callverine The (former) Superman actor makes a quick cameo as Wolverine which causes Deadpool to have a nerdgasm. Weapon Omega Wolverine Even with one hand, he still manages to beat the brakes off Deadpool. Uncanny X-Men Wolverine I have no idea how Wolverine got himself into this situation, but to be completely honest, it might be better not knowing. First-Appearance Wolverine And speaking of the first-appearance variant of the Wolverine, another MCU hero is also shown in that scene… The Hulk The jolly green giant can be seen fighting Wolverine and smacking the hell out of Deadpool. The Human Torch Chris Evans returns to the MCU to reprise a superhero role, and it’s not Captain America. Years before he picked up the iconic shield, Chris Evans played the Human Torch in The Fantastic Four and Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer. Sabretooth Tyler Mane played Logan’s brother in the very first X-Men movie. Now, 24 years later, he once again returns to play Sabretooth in a very brief but enjoyable cameo. Pyro Another X-Men villain alumni who appeared in the film was Pyro from the original X-Men film trilogy. Pyro surprisingly gets more screen time than his contemporaries, but this was a welcomed surprise as he was great in the role. And Pyro and Sabretooth aren’t the only X-men villains who make it into the film, there are plenty more who show up, including: Toad The green and gross character has made two appearances in live-action movies before: the first time was in X-Men (2000), and the second time was in X-Men: Days of Future Past. Azazel The resident teleporter of the Hellfire Club, Azazel returns in Deadpool and Wolverine as one of Cassandra’s goons. Lady Deathstrike Lady Deathstrike was last seen battling Wolverine to death in X2. Spoiler alert, but she lost. Like in a gruesome way. However, it would be nice to see the character fight Wolverine or even X-23 in the future. Psylocke The sword-wielding mutant was last seen as one of Apocalypse’s horsewomen in X-Men: Apocalypse. Random side note: I had no idea the character also made an appearance in X-Men: The Last Stand, and I’ve seen that movie numerous times. Callisto Callisto had a pretty substantial role in X-Men: The Last Stand as one of Magneto’s supporters and foil to Storm. Blob To be honest, I had no idea he was in the movie until I saw a professional wrestler do an interview where he talked about his experience being the Blob in Deadpool and Wolverine. Might have to do a rewatch to see if I can spot him in the background 👀 Juggernaut Although the Juggernaut gets no lines in the movie, he does play a pretty big part in it. Or at least, his helmet does. The Russian Apart from the X-Men bad guys, another villain who returns to the big screen is The Russian from The Punisher (2004). Alioth The unstoppable force known as Alioth returns to the MCU. He was first seen in the Disney+ show Loki. Now, this movie has had a ton of bad guys, but they’ve also brought back old heroes (including a brand new one). Blade Blade wasn’t Marvel’s first film, but it was one of its first hits. The Blade film predates the X-Men and Spider-Man films, and it’s nice to see the character and the actor (Wesley Snipes) get the recognition they deserve. Elektra Jennifer Gardner’s Elektra didn’t have a ton of success. She was introduced in Daredevil (2003), a movie that most people would say is just okay. Then, 2 years later, she starred in her own film, which most people would say is downright bad. However, she finally gets her redemption in Deadpool and Wolverine. Gambit Channing Tatum’s Gambit isn’t a returning hero. This was the first time the actor portrayed the character. He was supposed to star in his own movie many years ago, but after roadblock after roadblock, it never materialized. Now, Channing Tatum’s dream finally comes true, and I would say that his performance stole the show (or the movie). X-23 The breakout star of the film Logan returns in Deadpool and Wolverine as one of the survivors in the Void. After the touching but tragic ending of Logan, it’s nice to see X-23 and Wolverine together again. Deadpool Corps Actors At the climax of the film, we see the Deadpool Corps. A group of Deadpools pulled together from different universes. And you won’t believe the actors that played these characters. Matthew McConaughey plays Cowboypool
Nathan Fillion plays Headpool
Football player Paul Mullin plays Welshpool
Blake Lively plays Ladypool
Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds’ kids play Babypool and Kidpool And that’s a wrap for the Deadpool and Wolverine cameo guide. If you think there’s a cameo or special appearance that I missed, let me know in the comments below! Read More Now That the Dust Has Settled, Is 'Deadpool and Wolverine' Actually Good?
