Hoyoverse Genshin Impact - "Blaze to Natlan"
2D Animation Lead
Hoyoverse enlisted BUCK to assist in promoting the launch of “Natlan,” the latest map expansion for the popular open-world RPG Genshin Impact. We were able to deviate from the game's 3D aesthetic, and opted for a 2D cel animation style, showcasing a cast of dynamic characters swinging, surfing, and racing through colorful landscapes.
