Secret 6 had the privilege to work on creating 3D environments, animating cut scenes, and providing visual effects for environments and boss fights in the highly anticipated game, Song Of Nunu: A League of Legends Story, developed by Tequila Works and published by Riot Forge.

The Secret 6 team was responsible for creating stunning 3D environments, props, and weapons that would transport players into the fantastical world of the game. In addition to that, they were entrusted with the task of animating many captivating cut scenes that would drive the narrative forward. Their expertise also extended to crafting the visual effects for the main antagonist, Lissandra, as well as the main protagonists, Willump and Nunu.

Working on League of Legends champions and presenting them in a new light was an incredible experience. In the original League of Legends game, readability is of utmost importance due to its fast-paced and competitive nature. However, with the vision of Tequila Works and Riot Forge for Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story, the teams prioritized conveying emotion and enhancing the storytelling experience, ultimately immersing players in the breathtaking world of Freijlord.

This shift allowed Secret 6 to explore more artistic opportunities to enhance the champions’ existing skills and evolve them into more stylish and visually appealing forms. Notable examples include Lissandra’s Glacial Ice and Willump’s Absolute Zero, which added depth and excitement to the gameplay.

Cut scenes also played a crucial role in enhancing the overall experience of a narrative game like Song of Nunu: A League of Legends Story, and Secret 6 had the privilege of animating over ten of them. The team took this opportunity to help bring the characters to life through animation and provide valuable input on camera angles and other treatments that would effectively convey the story to the players.

“It has been a pleasure to be assisted with such a talented group of artists while creating this game,” says Tom Ruiz, Game Producer at Tequila Works.

Riot Forge and Tequila Works collaborated with a shared vision of delivering top-notch quality assets in their game. However, they also recognized the importance of optimization, considering the game’s compatibility with a wide range of devices, including both high-end and low-end platforms like the Nintendo Switch. This necessitated careful optimization of the 3D assets and visual effects, striking a delicate balance between immersion and efficiency to ensure an enjoyable gameplay experience for all players.

Secret 6 has worked on many other high-profile titles, some of which include The Last of Us Part I, Battlefield 2042, Cyberpunk 2077, Lords of the Fallen, and much more.

Song Of Nunu: A League Of Legends Story is now available for Switch and PC.
