Austin, TX – Ever wondered how those stunning visuals in your favorite shows and games come to life? Well, Arctic7 is pulling back the curtain, and it’s pretty darn impressive! They’ve been busy working on some major projects, and we’ve got the inside scoop.
First up, Star Wars fans, get excited! Arctic7’s Virtual Production arm, Narwhal Studios, played a crucial role in the latest Disney+ series, Skeleton Crew.
This isn’t their first rodeo with Lucasfilm as they’ve also worked on Kenobi, Ahsoka, and The Mandalorian. Narwhal Studios served as the Virtual Art Department (VAD), building those incredible worlds we see on screen.
Working on the extension of the Star Wars universe on TV has been a delight for everyone at Narwhal, We’re so happy that we have enjoyed the experience multiple times and that we can continue to not only provide the kind of virtual production services required for this monster franchise but that we can also improve our craft at the same time.
says Andrew MacLusky, Chief Production Officer at Arctic7
Seven years of virtual production innovation have culminated in Skeleton Crew showcasing just how far they’ve come.
Arctic7 has partnered with Fateless to create an animated cinematic for the highly anticipated game, Godforge. They handled everything from concept to final rendering using their virtual production expertise.
This project showcased our team’s ability to deliver a complete, high-fidelity game cinematic, managing all aspects of production, It’s a first for us to use our pedigree in film & TV, combined with our game development know-how, to provide this kind of service for a partner, and we couldn’t be happier with how it’s turned out.
MacLusky explains
Mike Berry, CMO of Fateless, adds, “You only get one chance to introduce a new game to market, and with our debut title it is crucial that we set the right tone from the start. To that end we were excited to find a group of equally driven creatives at Arctic7 who understood that goal and were passionate about bringing it to life.”
Godforge is set to release this year, and players can sign up for the beta waitlist and join the Discord community.
