Our team was tasked with creating the visual experience of the game through UX, UI, Motion, and Implementation in Unreal Engine. We worked to build demos for events such as EVO and launching on PC and Console. The goal was to create a unique look and feel that still resonated with the League of Legends world of Runeterra.
We had three primary goals
- Design a core path experience that could be used as a demo at EVO in 2023
- Design and expand a design system that can be used across engineers and designers on the team to create the launch version of 2XKO.
- Continue to ship amazing champions and seasons to players and support the game for players.
