Mythical magic brought to life

Our series of cinemtaic trailers blended hand-drawn animation with high-impact VFX, we brought Greek mythology to life, from concept to final render, generating major online buzz, and generating 10m views and counting.

Context


Total War: Mythos is a fantasy expansion for Total War Saga: Troy, diving deep into ancient myth and legend. We were tasked with bringing the Greek-mythology world of Mythos to life through a series of animated trailers and idents.

Solution


Our cinematic trailers for Total War: Mythos blended hand-drawn artistry with rich VFX to build a world as intense as the game itself. Working in close collaboration with the game developers, we took the visuals from raw sketches to a fully animated, high-impact final film. From storyboard and animatic to animation, VFX, final render, and handover, we delivered a set of compelling, creature-laden content that created an online buzz ahead of the game's official release.

Results


The final trailer landed with impact – visually striking, true to the Total War universe and seriously well received. It’s racked up nearly a million views on YouTube and counting, proving that pushing the boundaries of animation leads to epic results.

"Working in partnership with Freak to bring our creative vision for the 'Troy: Total War announce trailer' to life was a great experience. The team were collaborative in their approach, diligent in adhering to deadlines and enthusiastic and creative throughout the entire process. Our resulting output was brilliant and well received all round. I very much look forward to working with the team again in the future."
