Objective
Starlink: Battle for Atlas was a Ubisoft action game launching in October 2018 across multiple gaming platforms. Five & Done created an interactive promotional experience to drive awareness and audience engagement by showcasing the game's core mechanics—specifically the modular ship customization system that defines the Starlink gameplay.
Solution
The playable ad was a 3D ship builder where players combined pilots, ship hulls, wings, and weapons to design unique starfighters for galactic combat. Built with WebGL and Three.js for 3D rendering, with GSAP handling animations, the experience ran as a web-based interactive tool at starlinkgame.com/shipbuilder. The interface emphasized creative modularity and strategic loadout choices central to the Starlink gameplay loop.
Results
The project earned an Awwwards Honorable Mention in November 2018 with a community score of 6.91/10 from 15 judges.
