A MOTION KIT ROOTED IN ARCANE’S RICH AND TENSION-FILLED VISUAL UNIVERSE.

→ CONTEXT

To mark the launch of Teamfight Tactics – Set 13, Riot Games set out to deliver a visual campaign worthy of its universe: Into the Arcane, inspired by the acclaimed Arcane series. This new set introduced iconic champions (Vi, Mel, Viktor…) along with a more narrative-driven art direction and an urban atmosphere infused with magic and tension.

→ APPROACH

We designed a complete visual motion kit to support Riot in this esports campaign, grounding the graphic identity in the dark, vibrant world of Arcane. The creative starting point: the Anomaly, or Corruption, an unstable, organic force at the heart of the series. This visual matter shifting, tentacular, almost alive, shaped the entire aesthetic of the kit: deconstructed forms, controlled glitches, distortions, and corrupted typography.
