Although this is the first time this has been done with a video game character, this stunt was preceded by one featuring animated band Gorillaz, who took part in a live Q&A in April 2017 to promote their most recent album:

For those looking to quiz the Hellblade heroine, the live event is taking place Tuesday, June 27th 5pm BST / 9am PST.
