Assassin’s Creed Chronicles
A “once in a lifetime” project, we were extremely excited to be asked to work on the Assassin’s Creed license for the titles Assassin’s Creed Chronicles China and India. Published by Ubisoft and developed by Climax Studio, the games hit PS4, XBox One and PC in 2015 and 2016.
The game required a series of stylised animated cutscenes to match the aesthetics and to tell the story of the gameplay. We delivered an effective use of narrative storytelling within the game through visually engaging animated cutscenes using a unique style and look to match the location and era. Taking assets directly fro the game engine, we posed them into striking layouts, and painted over them to create the final effect. We used authentic ink transitions and a painterly style to capture the essence of the time and place.
“Assassin’s Creed: Chronicles’ beautiful hand-painted artwork is one of the game’s greatest strengths.”
“Engine House were great to work with- communicative, pro-active, passionate and talented, they demonstrated a good understanding of our requirements and supplied exactly what we needed in a very short time frame and at a very competitive rate!”
