Wake Up! - that's the name of Xbox's latest campaign, a commercial directed by none other than David Fincher himself. The film follows a rat named Horatio as he trudges through a monotonous daily routine filled with crowded public transport and a soul-crushing office job. Among the other rats, however, a few humans can be seen—each playing on some kind of handheld console. This might just be a hint at the portable device Microsoft and Asus are rumoured to be working on together.

Eventually, Horatio transforms into a human when he finally gets home and boots up his beloved Xbox, sending the message that playing Xbox awakens the human within us. Check out the clip below.
