Our team contributed to Stadium Thames District, the new map released in Overwatch 2 Season 18.
The map draws its theme from the iconic design of the original King’s Row in Overwatch 1, so we had a strong foundation of existing assets and references to work with.
Starting from the level design team’s blockout, we created the art models, handled set dressing, and crafted the London cityscape in the background.
Beyond the visuals, we also managed technical aspects like collision setup and performance optimization to ensure the map met the game’s standards.
As per usual, a big warm thank you to Airborn Studios for the opportunity to work such cool projects!
