THE FINALS | Fortune Stadium Battle Arena

I had the pleasure of working on the THE FINALS - S4 Fortune Stadium Battle Arena Map, as an Environment Artist.

For this map we had a tight time frame to create an arena map, where gameplay flow and sponsor presence were the main objectives. Alongside my colleagues, we were responsible of exploring and coming out with a way to give players, maximum guidance and ease of flow, with minimum use of medium to small props in the map. After a main rough pass over the map, under level design requirements, we each focused on a sector, assigned to each artist, to bring it to the required art quality level.

I was mainly responsible for sector 2, the Engimo sponsored building. Engimo being a cutting-edge communications company, some of the unique features of the building were the cables running thru the floor, under protective glass, big branded screens and an overall tech and industrial prop dressing. All this with sport stadium graphic layer on top.

This would have not been possible without:

Art Direction by Esbjörn Nord
Concept art by Joel Mörk
Environment Team Leadership by Joakim Stigsson
Level Design by Midas de Laat
Lighting by Fumio Katto and Oscar Carlen
VFX by Mateusz Marczak

Special thanks to the artists that I worked alongside on this map:
3D Artist Extraordinaire - Benedict Gibson
Alert 5 Strike Unit Senior Environment Artist - Johan Jeansson

It would be difficult to name everyone involved, but, as always, massive team effort to make each season possible and it couldn't have been done without each and everyone on the talented team at Embark Studios.
