Outriders
Launch Campaign
When Square Enix came to us for help with the launch of their brutal new game Outriders, we couldn’t help but feel that there was something very “metal” about it. Maybe it the Devastator’s ability to impale enemies with a spike that explodes from the ground – but we can’t be sure. With multiple CG trailers already out in the market, we were tasked with creating a story-driven trailer that would stand apart stylistically. Enter: immensely talented illustrators.

We were also tasked with creating a design language that could support all of the launch marketing needs. Inspired by the painterly style of the illustrated trailer, we used bold typograhpy and aggressive brushstrokes to create a flexible graphic system.
