The game is a milestone for the Philippine studio as it's the first title where it designed outfits for a main playable character in Assassin's Creed

This is AI generated summarization, which may have errors. For context, always refer to the full article.The game is a milestone for the Philippine studio as it's the first title where it designed outfits for a main playable character in Assassin's Creed, the game that finally scratched the itch for fans looking for an AC title set in Japan, came out earlier this month, with gamers taking on the role of either the shinobi Naoe or the samurai Yasuke.

Our weapons team handled the majority of weapon concepts in the game, alongside around half of the 3D models . For characters, we created a significant variety of different assets — from armor, outfits, heads, hair, and accessories for different NPCs, and a couple for Yasuke as well. Firstly, our associate producer, Alfonse Angliongto, played a pivotal role in coordinating with our co-development studios and the lead studio in Quebec, to make sure every aspect of development was aligned.

As I mentioned previously, some of the challenges involved the game’s unique setting — feudal Japan has been such a highly-anticipated setting for the franchise for so long that we knew we had to give it our all when it came to research, while also allowing our teams to express their creativity while remaining grounded.

The Philippine weapons team was also responsible for setting-up the pipeline for weapon variations, allowing our 3D artists to flex their creativity while coming up with interesting and diverse re-skins for the weapons they created without the need for additional concept art. Concept artists here in the Philippines send them several variations to choose from after extensive research for references and inspiration and then come up with a final polished version.
