VALORANT CONSOLE ANNOUNCE

Brace yourselves, because Valorant is making its way to consoles! Get ready to dive into the intense tactical gameplay, master your favorite agents, and unleash your skills on a whole new platform.

The excitement is real! Valorant has invited us to create the 2D animation intro, ending, and vignettes for this amazing welcome trailer. Co-produced with the great folks from Dark Burn Creative and Mutiny Gaming Agency, we really brought home the hype for Valorant's new era!

Since Valorant's cinematics are mesmerizing in terms of art direction and animation, our challenge was to maintain the highest standard of quality for all the character designs and their personalities, especially Phoenix's. Fire took on a character-like role, with its personality and presence artfully woven into each scene.
