Dustborn

Client: Quantic Dream

Dustborn
Key Art


The key art was supposed to convey the player’s benefits in an understandable way: you are on a road-trip across a divided States of America with your found family (a crew of outcasts with unique abilities).

We proposed the concept layout and also had to match the game’s unique comic book graphic style.

The Witcher: Monster Slayer

Client: Spokko

Your Hunt Begins
(Live Action Trailer)

Roach? Where are You?
Stop playing around and let’s do some hunting!

We are very proud that Spokko chose us to work on The Witcher: Monster Slayer mobile game trailer. Our cinematic director Paweł Swierczynski has a long history with the Witcher Saga so who else could transfer the brand’s spirit into the new Game more accurately? What started off as a traditional film production shoot in pre-production, quickly transformed into a 100% virtual production film shoot including VFX monsters.

It was a strenuous experience since it was a big and complicated undertaking, but you can see the effects and judge for Yourself. We loved the project very much and hope for more exciting collaborations like this.

Go Witcher: Monster Slayer! Let the hunt begin!

The Pearl Collection

Client: RIOT Games

Design, Animation, AR

Launching a new map with a Portuguese theme requires a campaign with soul. This is why, inspired by Portuguese ceramics and design, we helped to bring The Pearl Collection campaign to life.

The new map Pearl takes place in Portugal, Inspired by its famous Azulejos (painted tin-glazed ceramic tilework) we decided to create the perfect convention starter. A set of coasters, but with a digital spin to it.

Each coaster/tile was designed to represent a VALORANT agent or a character. The tiles come to life as soon as you point your camera to them using a special Instagram AR filter to reveal the matching agent and a unique animation to each design. Even the box itself had a hidden special animation to it.

The tiles were packaged in a unique box and sent out to Influncers from MENA, SEA, Europe and NA for a special unboxing moment during the new map launch.
The unboxing took place live on stream with thousands of concurrent viewers tuning in to watch their favorite VALORANT streamers reveal the package and try out the AR experience.
Additionally, all VALORANT players were able to download the artwork, create their own tiles and try the AR experience.

In a few days the AR filters made over 350k impressions and over 4000 players tried them out!
