Are you ready to dive into the Sunset map trailer and meet some new/old enemies?
Sova, Brimstone, Reyna, Deadlock, and Gekko faced some dangers in finding Sunset. Working with such a dream team on this new map was an honor. Sunset is inspired by Riot Games' hometown of Los Angeles. It features several cultural staples, including food trucks, art deco and mission-style architecture, traffic, a neon sunset, and graffiti spotlighting a few local artists.
To make it happen in the best possible way, we needed a lot of work and attention in two essential moments of the animation. Primarily, the goal was to create a significant impact when unveiling Sunset for the first time. Secondly, assembling the right team was essential, as these characters would be the pioneers exploring the new map.
