Shadowlands — a large-scale 3D cinematic for Lineage II.

Showing character progression is always a major challenge. It is not enough to simply switch between several beautiful locations. You need to build the feeling of a journey: from the first steps and familiar places to arenas, dangerous lands, raid scenes, and a confrontation with a real threat.

Shadowlands is a 3D cinematic inspired by the world of Lineage II, which I created completely from scratch. The project includes 11 unique fantasy locations: towns, castles, snowy areas, desert zones, arenas, and dark places of power. Each scene had to preserve the spirit of the original game world, while looking more modern and cinematic.

Production took several months and included a large post-production stage. I also developed a fantasy font specifically for the project, with letters, numbers, and symbols, to strengthen the Shadowlands identity and bring the entire video into one visual system.

As a result, this is not just a cinematic about characters, but a story about their journey — through different locations, moods, and stages of a large MMORPG adventure.
