Darktide is 'Fatsharks' latest game in the world of Warhammer, this time taking on the 40k universe after the success of Vermintide 2.
Our work ranged across a multitude of disciplines, from screenshots, motion graphics, trailers, and cutscenes. As well as graphic design work in the form of alternatives to the key art for the 'Imperial Edition.
One of the nicest bits of work was the opportunity to update the intro sting that gets played as the game boots up. The goal was to have it feel like it's in the 40k universe, creating a video transmission terminal and having the low-fi graphics broadcasted on the screen.
The completion of this led us to create a mini social media campaign in the form of 12 episodic episodes of these 'Vox Transmissions'.
Written by the game's narrative designer, they told a prelude story and were released monthly in the build-up to the game's launch.

Finally, we delivered the ‘Summer Games Festival’ trailer. This combined interstitial camera work captured via the cinematic tools with in-game gameplay footage.
