Tracer Fire. Impact hits. Bug Swarms, and Goo Sims.

Our FX and Animation teams had a blast contributing to this cinematic, assisting Epic with an action packed scene. The sequence was bursting with dynamic creature animation. A highlight for the FX was the creature blood simulation that sprays across the frame while Fishstick fires away.

This event had us operating on all cylinders. Our FX team jumped into Death Star Sabotage event, plugging in console destructions, explosions and fire in classic Star Wars locations.

With the event beginning in X-wing starfighters, we got to uprez and nail the look of the Fortnite Island from space. The bespoke set dressing and uprez fx of our island had to look good from all player angles. Freshly loaded up with weapons, our console destruction brought players into the action while running through the Death Star hallways.

We’re excited to share our latest cinematic short for Fortnite’s Daigo's Fate in-game event! This project was a love letter to classic Fortnite charm, starring fan-favorite characters Dill and Brat.

The team relished getting to work with the moody lighting, expressive animation that brought the characters to life, and the detailed asset work on all the props throughout the short. A key creative highlight was developing the look of the void space, with the volumetric and inky FX - and our layout team did a great job making the spaces blend seamlessly.

It was refreshing to do some old-school storytelling, making the in-game event as cinematic as possible.

This year, we had the opportunity to help bring Star Wars to Fortnite in an epic trailer packed with iconic moments! 🎬

Our team crafted the stunning establishing shots, panning from the classic starfield down to the Island, blending Fortnite’s vibrant style with cinematic Star Wars mood. From lighting to animation and camera layout, the details set the tone for this crossover.

We also loved enhancing Imperial Vehicle assets with high-detail refinements and bringing dynamic interactive lighting to life—whether for weapon fire or immersive Star Wars environments. Plus, we custom-built Emperor Palpatine’s hologram, showcasing the Death Star targeting the Fortnite Island! 🌍

A galactic collaboration we’ll never forget!
